Dr Kissinger replied that the 
Uuiiud States was committed iu 
improving relations with the 
Soviet Union and that, despite 
a few disappointments, the 
trend had been extremely posi¬ 
tive. The danger of war had 
been- reduced to negligible pro¬ 
portions and there was a firm 
American principle that the two 
countries had a special responsi¬ 
bility fur preserving world 
peace. He concluded that the 
illuming talks had been useful 
and marked a very good begin¬ 
ning.

Invitations to a new summit meeting in

among other things, limitations of the 
right of veto in the EEC Council of 
Ministers. This would involve a 
transfer of sovereignty, but France was 
prepared ro accept that. 

The French President also announced 
that he was trying to arrange a con¬

hoped Europe would be represented as

The Parliamentary' Commissioner

Secretary of State for Industry, and 
the Department of Industry in the 
Court Line affair. In a letter ro Mr

spokesman on industry', the Ombuds¬

Sir Keith enigmatic 

Sir Keith Joseph pointedly refused io 
endorse Mr Heath as leader of the 
Conservative Party when he was 
interviewed on Thames Television last 
night, our Political Staff writes. As 
far as he would go was : “He is the 
leader, and the future is not predict¬ 
able ”. Sir Keith gave the impression 
that he would not be opposed to Mr 
Powell’s rejoining the party, but 
pointed out that he would have to 
change bis attitudes Page 2

reached the conclusion that Mr 
Ashton’s conduct in making 
such allegations in newspaper 


articles and in a radio inter¬ 
view, and in making them 
about unidentified members, 
was conduct likely to bring the 
House and its members into 
disrepute and accordingly con¬ 
stituted a serious contempt.”

sion, the committee considered 
wbaz, if auy- material existed 
for mitigating the seriousness 
of tiie contempt. They noted 
that Mr Ashton had now accep¬

UVF to maintain its 
ceasefire in spite 
of internal pressure 


From Robert Fisk 
Belfast 

A squad of black uniformed 
and masked brigade staff offi¬ 
cer* in the Ulster Volunteer 
Force, probably the most power¬ 
ful of the Protestant private 
armies in Northern Ireland, an¬ 
nounced yesterday that their 
year-old ceasefire would con¬ 
tinue in spite of pressure from 
within their own movement and 
that they were not responsible 
for the present campaign of sec¬ 
tarian murders. 

But one m w " , wearing combat 
dress and speaking on behalf of 

hie colleagues, told reporters 

who had been brought to a 
gfamlnH Road bar that the UVF 

wee continuing *» «*km» 

against the IRA end was check¬ 
ing arms stores in case some 
of ha men had helped in die 
recent murders without its 
knowledge. 

The press conference may 
well have been intended to put 
further pressure on the British 
Government to release “loyal¬ 
ist” internees and to gain con¬ 
cessions for sentenced prisoners 
in the Maze prison. The anony¬ 
mous said that 17 UVF 

members were still interned, al¬ 
though the organization was 
maintaining a ceasefire; those 
men should be released, he said, 
and a two-thirds remission given 
to those who had been con¬ 
victed. 

He said that a motion to end 
the ceasefire had been put at a 
meeting of the UVF’s brigade 
staff three days ago and had 
been defeated by only 38 votes 
to 34. The UVF handed out a 
document, part of which listed 
the reasons given by UVF 
officers—most of them from 
country and border districts— 
for ending tbe truce. 

The Government, it said, was 
still pursuing a policy of deten¬ 
tion without trial for UVF mem¬ 
bers and results in the election 
campaign in West Belfast earlier 
this month—in which the UVF’s 
own candidate gained fewer 
than 3.000 votes—indicated 
“that the ordinary people did 
not want the UVF outside of 
Its military role 

The UVF had been branded 
as communist after the forma¬ 
tion of riie UVF political group¬ 
ing, the Volunteer Political 
Party, and that had resulted in 
a large proportion of public sup¬ 
port bang withdrawn from it. 
Tn a statement remarkably 
similar to some that have been 
issued in the past by the 
Provisionals- the document wen* 
on: “The UVF does not need 
to maintain a ceasefire in order 
to obtain a place at the conven¬ 
tion or any other such con¬ 
ference on Ulster's future. We 
will be there because there will 
be no settlement without our 
consent. The use of military 
action alone is the only message 
to which the Government will 
listen.” 


According to tho UVF, of 
course, that view was overruled, 
although yesterday there were 
some sharp attacks on loyalist 
politicians. Anti-UVF propa¬ 
ganda, the organization main¬ 
tained, had been directed at it 
by the Rev Ian Paisley’s Demo¬ 
cratic Unionist Patty. The 
statement said that die UVF 
required “a strong political 
voice” so that it could seek 
admission to Long Kesh to sort 
out problems there. 

The brigade officer said the 
UVF was investigating the mem¬ 
bership of the Ulster Protestant 
Action Group, the extremist 
organization, which has claimed 
responsibility for several of the 
recent sectarian murders. If 
any UVF members were found 
to have been involved, he said, 
they would be arr este d and 
brought before a UVF court. 
It was the organization’s mili¬ 
tary policy to take action against 
Provisional IRA men and tar¬ 
gets, not to carry out random 
shootings a g einwr innocent civi¬ 
lians. 

The man said that the UVF 
was responsible for 98 per cent 
of “ana-terrorist activity” and 
agreed that it would ba pre¬ 
pared to IcQl Mr David 
O’Connell and any other mem¬ 
bers of the IRA leadership who 
fell into its hands. However, 
one UVF officer had been killed 
because of his defence of Roman 
Catholics 

Meanwhile, on the political 
front, yesterday, Mr Paisley 
gained the support of at least 
two of the three loyalist parties 
in bis call for a trade boycott 
against the Irish Republic. He 
announced his plan late on 
Wednesday night after a state¬ 
ment in the Dail by Mr Cos- 
grave, the Dublin Prime 
Minister, that power-sharing 
would have to be reintroduced 
in the next northern executive. 
The Vanguard Party, led by Mi- 
William Craig, said yesterday 
that it was looking into all 
aspects of the campaign. 

The Government believes 
that, if the idea should take 
root, it might lead to intimida¬ 
tion. Mr Ernest Baird, deputy 
leader of Vanguard, said last 
night that a boycott could cause 
chaos in the Irish banking 
system, but Mr Leslie Morrell, 
the Londonderry Assemblyman 
and one of Mr Faulkner’s 
former Unionist ministers,, said 
that such a trade war might 
turn into a two-edged weapon. 

There was no loyalist res¬ 
ponse to a speech in the Dad 
yesterday by Dr Garret Fitz¬ 
Gerald, the Irish Foreign 
Minister, who said that the 
country’s constitution might 
have to be changed without the 
help of the Fiannm Fail oppo¬ 
sition party. Articles 2 and 3 of 
tbe constitution claim sover¬ 
eignty over Northern Ireland 
and Mr Cos grave as well as Dr 
FitzGerald, is believed to be 
anxious to have them done 
away with. 


By .Clive Borrell and. 
Christopher Walker 

The latest outbreak of bomb 
attacks by tile Provisional IRA 
on Establishment targets in and 
around London has led to a 
vast security operation being 
mounted by Scotland Yard. 
Senior detectives fear that the 
bombing campaign may greatly 
increase during the next few 
days. 

Every nook and cranny in 
the vast complex of corridors, 
offices and debating chambers 
at the Houses of Parliament is 
thoroughly searched day and- 
night by police officers and 
Westminster staff. Security 
trill be especially tight for the 
state opening of Parliament on 
Tuesday. 

So far this year the IRA is 
believed to have been respon¬ 
sible for the planting of 43 time- 
bombs, most of them iu the 
London area. One disturbing 
fact which has emerged recently 
is the recreating campaign being 


■t. - 

conducted.:by the Provisionals 

lu enlist tbfc active support or 
dissident extremists; to£- plan 
thc-ir attacks. 

* .The police believe: that the 
decision by Provisional; IRA 
active service units to switch 
from military to Establishment 
targets is a deliberate attempt 
to reinforce support for the 
bombing campaign from 
extreme left-wing factions in 
Britain. 

Since the Provisionals’ recent 
annual meeting in Dublin, it 
has been felt that the movement 
has been trying hard to increase 
its support among the working 
class. . 

Influential members of the 
ISA’s army council are known 
to: have been seriously con¬ 
cerned about the repercussions 
of the Tower of London bomb 
on July 17, which" injured a 
number of foreign tourists. 
Although the IRA never 
claimed . responsibility, the 


attack is widely assumed to have., 
been its work. ' 

Provisional sources ‘indicated 
yesterday that the latest choice 
of Establishment targets had 
been made partly to appease 
left-wing sympathizers who have 
been giving tadt but invaluable 
assistance to the Irish bomb 
squads. 

That has come mostly in the 
form of providing safe houses 
and strategical advice- including 
the detailed geographical plan¬ 
ning needed for making attacks 
in the heart of London. 

Although the recent attacks 
bear all the hallmarks of the 
CRA, ho attempt has been made 
to claim responsibility from 
Dublin. The reason, as with 
other unclaimed outrages in the 
past, is thought "to be a fear by 
Provisional chiefs that any out¬ 
right claim could lead to British 
Government pressure for a new 
security clampdown in the 
republic. 


The renewed., bomhing^ cam-, 
Mien'in Britain als<K results 
from a bbost in' fiard-lihe 
influence on the Provisionals 
army council, which- regards the 
publicity as invaluable towards 
the goal of persuading the 
British to pull troops out of 
Ulster. 

Intelligence sources in North¬ 
ern Ireland m a intain that 
publicity, more than any other 
single reason, has encouraged 
the change in British targets. 
Elaborate and dangerous attacks . 
on heavily guarded military car-: 
gets have been found to be; 
getting no more coverage than 
small devices planted at “ soft ” 
prestige • targets. 

At the same time, the Army 
is convinced that the latest spate 
of bombings in London has been 
deliberately timed to coincide 
with the- new move in" the. 
Labour Party for a military 
withdrawal, and more specific¬ 
ally, the huge demonstration 


planned for . Sunday* in .favour; 
of .-puBing the troopj oftt 

Although the" targets have" 
changed* the latest wave of 
attacks are- still thought to he 
conducted by small, groups of 
IRA" men based in England, 
trained and equipped by visiting 
chiefs from the republic. The 
renewed London campaign'.is 
believed to have jdose a con¬ 
nexions with. the armed escape 
from an Irish jail in August of. 
Kevin MaLLon and other hard¬ 
line Provisionals.. • - . L ' . 

Detectives and forensic scient¬ 
ists were "busy yesterday sifting, 
through the debris left-"by .the 
latter London bomb attack, on 
Peterborough Cottage in .the 
grounds of Harrow School. . 

The bomb, weighing-about. 
5 lb, was placed on. a ground- 
floor window sill and exploded 
10 minutes after a man, speak¬ 
ing, with an Irish accent, had 
telephoned the Press Assoriar. 
tion in London and said“ If 


ynu.dozCt. tame the-kids they 
wULbef QK,” - . . -, ' 

The 700 pupils at the .school 
were warned bv staff and the 
police to stay" In their dormi¬ 
tories. The. bomb, which ~ ex¬ 
ploded at U-30 pm, shattered 
windows ; and walls of several 
' downstairs rooms in the cottage, 
.which booses’ three members ot. 
the teaching : staff and their . 
Wives;- NO" one was hurt. . 

Detectives also returned .to 
Brooks’s Club "'in St James’s 
yesterday to. make - a second 
search for clues among the 
: debris left after .another 51b 
bomb exploded, on Wednesday 
night. They", were -hoping, to find 
a fragment of evidence, to-link 
the two attacks. 

The techniqmas usrf to manu¬ 
facture : the - Doxnbs - and their-- 
posithming show a number of 
similarities with' other recent 
.anacks at . the Army ahd« Navy 
Club and-'the -Victory Services 
Club.

Minister urged to end 
‘loophole’ in race Act 


Urgent action to emend the 
tow co dose the .“loophole” 
under which .a dolour bar may 
operate m working men’s clubs 
was afifed for y to rday by Sir 
Geoffrey WHson, chairman of 
tbe Race Retofloms Board. 

In ■ letter to .Mr Jenkins, 
Home Secretary, Sir Geoffrey 
save dim- be bcxocs iftu tmflii 
the tow is c hang ed Mr Jenkins 
vwH “ umbe rt e p un dentiy clear 
tint coltoar ben such as those 
operand by tbe Preston 
Dockera* Ctob and sfanflar clubs 
affifiated to the Ctab and In¬ 
stitute Union are contrary to 
pubi&c poiky and wBl, as soon 
as p os sJb te, be made imtowftd ”. 

Referring to last week’s 
House ot Lords’ rafting, Sir 
Genfifroy says : “As yon mow, 
tfor* was tbe esse in Which Mr 
Shenragaon, a native of Preston 
■n/t the bolder of on as so ci a t e 
member's card issued by tbe 
Qhd) and Institute Union, was 
told to leave die drib's premi¬ 
ses because of objection to the 
odour of bis skin. 

“It appears that the reason 
for tbe dob’s colour bar is that 
something over 20 years ago 


a coloured committee member 
insulted some tody member of 
the dub. • 

“ Despite the Lords’ decision, 
it seems to us that these dubs 
fall dearly within the ‘ public ’ 
sector and therefore that this is 
the type \of discriminatory 
action that the Race Relations 
Act of 1968 was designed to 
make unlawful 

“A situation in which some 
4,000 working men’s dubs with 
a membership of about 
3^00,000 - may discriminate 
against all comers solely on the 
ground of their colour must 
undermine the credibility both 
of the board and of the 1968 
Act itself. 

“It is therefore a matter of 
urgency that the law should be 
amended to cover all but those 
clubs, usually small ones, which 
are genuinely private.” 

Sir Geoffrey says that such a 
serious loophole in the law must 
cause great damage. He urges 
that it should be dosed during 
this session of Parliament and 
the 1968 Act generally 
strengthened.

Some assurance 
for owners of 
suspect buildings 

By our Pl anning Reporter 
The Institution of Structural 
Engineers yesterday offered 
limited reassurance to owners 
and JwnyMt* of buildings con¬ 
structed with high alumina 
(hac) concrete. 

In two months of field inspec¬ 
tions and assessments, the 
institution found very few cases 
where the roofer floor was near 
to collapse because of hac 
alone. Most hac concrete amts 
had converted unfavourably and 
showed a current or future 
trend towards low strength, but 
that did not necessarily imply 
inadequate strength. 

The institutional report stated 
that in many cases the struc¬ 
tural condition of the con¬ 
crete might lie in the suspect 
or highly converted state. 
Nevertheless, the stress condi¬ 
tion would often be within an 
acceptable but limited margin 
of safety. In many cases it might 
be reasonable to recommend to 
the owner that the structure 
should be accepted for the 
present and subject to a review 
The institution’s survey was 
prompted by a government cir¬ 
cular sent to all local authori¬ 
ties last July asking them to 
carry out checks on buildings 
in their areas. The potential 
dangers of hac, which is a 
widely used quick-drying 
cement subject to subsequent 
chemical conversion which may 
weaken its load-bearing poten¬ 
tial, were emphasized by the 
collapse of a roof beam at a 
school swimming bath in Step¬ 
ney last February. It has been 
estimated that thousands of 
buildings in Britain may be 
similarly at risk. 


Judges reject 
husband’s 
plea for wife 

A husband’s plea for his wife 
who plotted to MU him, to be 
freed from a jail sentence was 
rejected by the Court of Appeal 
yesterday. 

Mr Alan Lord, an accountant, 
heard them uphold .“with 
regret” sentences on his. wife, 
Margaret, aged 32- and' step¬ 
father, John Lord, aged 58, a 
labourer. The couple -were 
described at their-, trial as 
“incompetent assassins”. 

Mrs Lord, mother of a girl, 
aged eight, and a boy, five, of 
Charles Witts Avenue, Hereford, 
and Mr Lord, of Broadash 
Drive, Hereford, had their 
appeals against seven-year sen¬ 
tences, passed at Birmingham 
Crown Court in May, for con¬ 
spiracy to murder, dismissed. 

Mr Christopher Stuart-White, 
for the defence*of Mrs Lord, 
said they plotted to get rid of 
the husband because of his 
brutality towards her and his 
encouragement for her to have 
sexual relations with other men 
while he watched, and to in¬ 
dulge in group sex activities. 


Two Manx youths 
birched 

Tbe Isle of Man’s first birch¬ 
ing sentence for two years has 
been carried out on two youths 
who beat up a man aged 67. 
The youths, who have also been 
sent to prison for nine months, 
were given four strokes each. 

John David Cain, aged 17, 
of Douglas, and Donald Victor 
Qxtoby, aged 19, of Peel, 
pleaded guilty at Manx Assizes 
on Wednesday to assaulting 
Mr William Corletr. 


Lord Avon 
looks 

back at the 
dictators 

By Philip Howard 

The man who negotiated face 
to face with the dictators who 
have stalked and savaged this 
century gives his final verdict 
on some of them tonight. 

Lord Avon, in a rare inter¬ 
view on BBC television, remin¬ 
isces about Hitler, Stalin and 
Mussolini. He says: “ I would 
much rather do business any day 
of tiie wedk with Stalin than 
with Under. Or, put it another 
way, if I waa going into nego¬ 
tiation, I would much rather 
have Stalin on my side than 
Hitler. Hitler was unpredict¬ 
able, megalomaniac Stalin wa£ 
ruthless, no doubt cruel, all 
those things; but with a clear 
mind as to what he wanted, and 
quite prepared to wait to get it. 

“He was a very quiet dicta¬ 
tor ; the quietest dictator I have 
ever met, except perhaps Sala¬ 
zar. He never raised his voice 
in conversation. I was impressed 
by him, although you felt the 
sense of ruthlessness coming 
through all the time. He was 
at the same time a man, I felt, 
of great power. I always had 
an admiration for Stalin’s gifts.” 

Lord Avon recalls Mussolini 
tuning him, when he visited 
Rome in 1934: “ If you can get 
anything signed by Hitler which 
limits him in any way, take it, 

1 sign it how, because if you don’t, 

: he'll just go on, and on, and on, 
arid'the sky’s the limit.” 
v . XortLAyon is not reluctant to 
some contemporary impli- 
catians-~Fpr example: “X am 
very'nlurii" fra favour of discus¬ 
sion w&h ^he. Russian across 
the iron ; curtain, including dis¬ 
cussions " about _ reduction of 
armaments on either side. But 
I would axh^quite firmly that I 
would not-regard a withdrawal 
of a few Russian divisions back 
into Russia and the withdrawal 
of one or two United States 
divisions across, the Atlantic as 
in any sense a comparable offer. 
I should feel a great deal cosier 
if the armaments of the Rus¬ 
sians were no? .-going up year 
by year at a. faster rate than 
those of any fipee nation in this 
world; that makes me uneasy.” 

On Churchill r: “ People have 
got Winston in some respects all 
wrong: They imagine him dash¬ 
ing ahead with-his own ideas, 
not - listening to anybody else. 
He wasn’t-at. all'like that.”

Sir Keith ‘only recently ’ hegaii 
to become a Conservative 


i - 


.0 

, II’* 


i 


Sir Keitii Joseph, shadow 
Home Secretary, said last night 
that he had “ only recently 
started to become a Conserva¬ 
tive **. In a television interview. 
Sir Keith, who last weekend 
spoke on the nation’s"' moral - 
state and birth control, said he 
hod come to reject the 
“ fashionable obsession ” with 

A galilgi-ianicm 

“I have only recently be¬ 
come a believer, a passionate 
believer in the virtues of de¬ 
centralization •' and individual 
responsibility and in the inti is- 
pensibiBty of incentives' and 
rewards. I have only recently 
started to become a Conserva¬ 
tive.” 

Questioned about the Tory 
leadership issue, in which he is 
regarded as a challenger to Mr 
Heath, Sir Keith emphasized 
that Mr Heath was still party 


leader. But the future was “ not 
predictable”, he added. . 

Sir Keith said he was seeking 
to identify mistakes that both 
he and the Conservative Party 
had made. “These mistakes T 
perceive now I should have 
perceived a long time ago.” 

He had made known his views 
on the economy: that too little 
attention bad-been paid to the 
money supply. “ I think we need 
a.thorough reexamination of the 
role o£ the educational system, 
but I do not know whether my 
colleagues agree with that yet. 

“ I think we have swallowed 
a very large dose of fashionable 
collectivism in. this country. At 
a time when reh^ous awareness 
and consciousness .. have 
dwindled we have had -the mis¬ 
fortune to be -. very -strohgly 
influenced by fashions in.educa¬ 
tion which though they have 


been sincerely meant; have been 
deeply damaging. We are suffer¬ 
ing.at the moment with an infec¬ 
tion of socialism.” . 

* Sir Kekh said sociidism was 
“ an unrea&stic dream ” leading 
to tyranny. “My dream is ana- 
socialist ; decentralized owner: 
ship; tbe abolition of poverty by 
levelling up rather tbafr levell¬ 
ing down.” / ‘ . 

He suggested that the Con-, 
servatiyes - .had never really 
represented business interests. 
“ The Tory Party has never been 
a party that understands how to 
get the best for people out of 
free eitterprise. Thai; is why I 
say it is not a business party. /. 

“ We .have to stand up for the 
ideas thus lie behind the party 
policy,' and fight for them .ia 
arguments against the fashion 1 ! 
able panaceas of the left”

Pension payments ‘ hidden 
taxation 9 , Mr Powell says 


By Our Social Services 
Correspondent 

State pensions are paid for 
through an “ elaborate stamp¬ 
licking pantomime ” invented by 
politicians to disguise tax as 
insurance, Mr Enoch Powell, 
United Ulster Unionist MP for 
Down South, says today. But he 
predicts that the pretence that 
national insurance contributions 
actually pay for die individual’s 
pension must end as pensions in¬ 
crease and the numbers drawing 
diem rise. 

What most happen, he says in 
an article in Pre Retirement 
Choice, is-that contributions will 
be recognized for what they are: 
taxation through which today’s 
workers pay for today’s 

E ensions. In time, the total of 
enefits being paid would reach 
the total income from, national 
insurance and with an aging 
population the inevitable deficit 
would emerge the sooner. ", 
“The pay-as-you-go pseudo- 
insurance system carries within 
itself the seeds of its own des¬ 
truction ”, Mr Powell writes. 

The emerging real cost of an 
increasing non-producer popu¬ 
lation, covered at an increasing 
real level, can no longer be 
floated off by increasing 
actuarily the contribution 
exacted from him now: the 
regression becomes so severe as 
to' outweigh the political con¬ 
venience.” 

“ Graduation of contributions, 
which abandons the actuarial 


pretence and is frankly taxa¬ 
tion, is presently introduced”, 
Mr Powell writes. “From that 
moment the merger of this spe¬ 
cial taxation into the corpus of 
general taxation is only a matter 
of time. Steeper and steeper 
graduation/ and further shifts 
of burden between employee 
and employer, can do no more 
than delay it.” 

Mr Powell argues that the 
politics of pensions is based on 
the fact that the retired popu¬ 
lation must be supported, by 
the working population. In. a 
democratic system, those with 
political power aimed to use ir 
in such, a ,way to prolong their 
possession of it. " 

• “ The most obvious method- is 
to combine force with, favour, 
by organizing on. a compulsory 
basis the transfer of resources 
from the producers to those who 
no longer produce.- Tbe trans¬ 
fer thus presents itself as some¬ 
thing due to the action of the 
politicians (who thus become 
indispensable), and as a reason 
for gratitude to them (whereby 
they hope to be perpetual).” 

The best device, for mirnmia- 
mg the unpopularity of .compul¬ 
sion had been the so-called in¬ 
surance principle, whereby the 
forcible transfer was" repre¬ 
sented as a saving. * From 
Lloyd George onwards in Brit¬ 
ain an elaborate pantomime of 
stamp-licking and ' actuarial 
calculations was organized to 
inculcate this pretence.” .

New talks agreed in Scottish lorry drivers’ 
strike, but food supplies are threatened 


r'cbm John Chartres 

Glasgow 

. As the number of workers 
laid off by the tbree*week-old 
• Scottish lorry drivers' strike 
grew to an estimated 12,000 
jteterda?f, strike offirials sought 
to intensify the dispute and halt 
food supplies throughout the 
country* 

The only sign of a break in 
the impasse yesterday came in 
B n announcement by Mr Roger 
Phayre,_ a government concilia¬ 
tion officer, that he had invited 
both the employers and the 
shop stewards* negotiating body 
to exploratory talks this morn¬ 
ing at the Department of Em- 

E loyment's conciliation office In 
iasgow. Both sides have 
agreed to meet him separately. 
The estimate of 12,000 men 
. /aid off was made yesterday by 
Mr Hamish Grant, Scottish 
secretary of the Confederation 
of British Industry. If the 
dispute went on, he said, the 
figure would exceed 22,000 by 
ozrly next week. 

A meeting of about a hundred 
shop stewards representing 
forty drivers in the West of 
'. Scotland decided in Glasgow 
Yesterday to hold discussions 
With their colleagues in the east 
of the country on plans to in- 
tensify the strike, which is 
'.already supported by about 
" &D00 men. A spokesman for 
7 the stewards said that the in¬ 
tention was to stop supplies of 
food throughout the country. 
Details of further action will 

¥ robablv be announced today, 
he spokesman said that limited 
-- supplies of newsprint would 
- continue to be delivered to 
newspapers published in Glas¬ 


gow but those printed elsewhere 
in Scotland would be subject to 
local negotiations. 

P 11 ^ other concessions 
would be to hospitals, which 
have not so far been affected 
by the dispute, and to essential 
supplies for troops serving in 
Northern^ Ireland, which are 
being shipped through Ardros- 
san. 

, After an emergency meeting 
in Glasgow yesterday, Mr 
Charles Wallace chairman of 
the CBI in Scotland, said that 
more companies were now find¬ 
ing it difficult to pay wages. 
Mr Douglas Hardie, the vice- 
chairman, said be thought it 
was too early yet for the Gov¬ 
ernment to take emergency 
powers but-that was a possibil¬ 
ity in the future. 

The Prime Minister has 
written to Mr Edward Taylor, 
Conservative MP for Glasgow. 
Cathcart, saying that the Gov¬ 
ernment bad powers to inter¬ 
vene if essential services or 
supplies were threatened but 
tha-t at this stage the Cabinet 
had no intention of doing so. 
He thought it best to allow 
conciliation officers to continue 
to try to bring about a solution. 

Meanwhile, the strikes in 
Glasgow of bus, Underground 
and sewage workers and drivers 
in the cleansing department, 
which are slowing commercial 
life and making domestic life 
uncomfortable, seem likely to 
go on until the weekend at least. 

A move was made yesterday 
to end the strike of the 380 
Glasgow cleansing department 
drivers, which has also gone on 
far three weeks and led to 


mountains of rubbish piling up 
-in alleyways and courtyards. 

Bailie James Cauuell, con¬ 
vener of the city’s establish¬ 
ment committee, seat a letter 
to Mr Raymond MacDonald. 
Scottish secretary of the Trans¬ 
port aud General Workers’ 
Union, saying that, provided 
there was an Immediate return 
to work, he would help in 
negotiations if the men were 
unable to obtain a fair and 
equitable increase in pay 
through normal negotiating 
channels. The cleansing depart¬ 
ment drivers are due io meet 
tomorrow. 

Troops plea: Mr Tain MacCor- 
mick, Scottish National MP for 
Argyll, yesterday sent a tele¬ 
gram tc- the Prime Minister, 
urging him to send in troops to 
restart sewerage services on the 
Clyde. 

Because of the strike of 
public service workers millions 
of gallons of raw sewage is be¬ 
ing passed into the Clyde at 
Glasgow. Mr MacCormick said 
in his telegram that if that con¬ 
tinued. “ fishing, health and 
recreational interests in 'the 
Firth of Clyde will be at risk for 
years 

David Young writes : The Scotch 
whisky industry, much of it Jn 
the process of recovering from 
severM weeks of iutemal indus¬ 
trial disputes, is now faced with 
serious production difficulties 
because of the Scottish haulage 
strike. 

The managements of most of 
the large bottling plants in the 
Glasgow area are preparing to 
lay off many workers as storage 
space is used up and the supply 
of bottles halts. 


Further north, the ; malt 
whisky distilleries are running 
short of barley and storage 
space und this weekend five dis¬ 
tilleries, Banff, Brackla, in 
Nairn, CJynelish, in Sutherland, 
Glenlochy and Teaninincb. in 

Ross-sfaire, will stop production. 
Another seven malt distilleries 
are expected to halt operations 
□ext week. 

The workers at the distilleries 
will not be laid off but will carry 
out maintenance work, the dis¬ 
tillery owners, Scottish Malt 
Distillers, said. 

Kg lay-offs are. however, 
expected in the bottling plants. 
Domestically produced bottles 
are not available because of the 
United Glassworks dispute and 
foreign bottles cannot be de¬ 
livered from warehouses because 
of picketing at the plants. 
School clash: Nearly 300 chant¬ 
ing pupils yesterday ran rioT 
through the playground of a 
Glasgow school, smashing win¬ 
dows and throwing stones, as 
teachers staged an unofficial 
strike. The teachers claimed 
that their one-day action over 
pay would close more than a 
hundred schools in the West of 
Scotland. 

Trouble came at King’s Park 
Secondary School, Glasgow, as 
Mr Thomas Jardine, the head¬ 
master, was discussing staffing 
in view of the strike. A window 
was broken with a sledge¬ 
hammer and within a few min¬ 
utes more were smashed by 
flying stones. 

Fire hoses were ripped out, 
extinguishers pulled from w alls 
and teachers who tried to quell 
the riot were spat on.

Talks may lead to £80 
rise for top pilots 


By Arthur Reed 
Air Correspondent 

Talks between British Airways 
aud tile British Air Line Pilots 
Association (Boipu i on ail agree¬ 
ment that would give pilots pay 
rises of up to £80 a week, were 
at ar. advanced stage lost night. 

Bui lHc airline said yesterday 
that if the deal went through 
only 60 of their most senior 
captains, first class, would 
receive increases at the top rale. 

“We arc trying to negotiate 
a productivity agreement, and 
the outcome will depend on the 
ability to pay increases nut of 
the substantial productivity 
savings we arc looking for ”, 
British Airways said. 

The 4.000 pilots who Fly fur 
the airline receive a wide range 
of salaries, from £2,000 io 


£11,000 a year, depending on 
seniority and experience and the 
type of aircraft they operate. 
Senior men in the overseas 
division receive £11,000. in the 
European division £10,000. and 
in the regional division £8,000. 

If the figures that are on the 
table at the talks are accepted, 
senior captains, first class, 
operating Boeing 747. jumbo 
jets and Lockheed TriSiar air¬ 
buses would earn I14.0U0. Time 
would still be well hehnv salaries 
fur similar posts in the United 
States and France, where senior 
captains earn more than £20.000. 

The need for a new nay struc¬ 
ture has been brought nut by 
the arrival in the British Air- 
wavs fleer nf the 3n0-se.it 
TriStar. 18 of which are on 
order.

Food prices 


Hugh Clayton 


found in supermarket promotions 
on frozen fish and in butchers’ 
reductions on cheap cuts of meat. 
Tesco is selling 14oz packs of 
Birds Eye cod steaks at 45p, at 
least lOp below the usual price in 
most shops. 

On beef,. the Meat and Live¬ 
stock Commission supported the 
view this week that cheap cuts 
are even cheaper than a year ago. 
Although, as the Farmers’ Union 
of Wales commented yesterday. 
the commission's report about 
meat will not satisfy those who 
wonder why prices have not fallen 
sharply in line with the livestock 
slump. It does show dearly where 
the best buys are to be found. 

Good brisket on the bone, can 
be found for as little as 18p a 
pound. It may be less attractive 
and less easy to cat than the 
traditional weekend roasting 
joints such as sirloin and topside, 
but it costs barely a third as 
much. Even allowing for a high 
rare of fat and bone content, it 
is still a bargain. 

The Department of Prices and 
Consumer Protection said yester¬ 
day that dessert apples would be 
about lp a pound cheaper tbis 
weekend than last. It expected 
lemons to cost slightly more and 
grapefruit slightly less, it pre¬ 
dicted that tomatoes would be 
sharph- reduced, with home sup¬ 
plies ‘starting at 12p a pound. 

The fall-in apple prices means 
that home grown Cox’s pippins 
also start at 12p a pound and 
russets and Worcesters between 
lOp and 16p. Supplies of yellow 
melons from Spain are declining 
and arc being replaced b> the 
nearer green varieties at 18p to 
4<jp each.

This dave Rank Xerox an idea 


Rank Xerox has taken a long hard 
look at the tea-trolley. It gave them an 
idea-the new Xerox 3100. 

Like the tea-trolley, it’s a convenient 
and practical way of saving time and 
money. 

You don’t queue for copies, it comes 
round to you. And you can move it where 
the work is, round the whole office. 

Operating it is a piece of cake. Just 
plug in, place down your original, dial the 
quantity and press the start buttoa 


The Xerox 3100 gives-you twenty 
copies a minute, with the first copy out 
in j*ust eight seconds. Reproduction is 
superb-half-tones turn out especially 
lifelike. 

When you’ve finished, just unplug it 
and move off on your rounds again. 

From marketing to accounts to filing 
to personnel to your own office to... 
anywhere.

Social Services Correspondent 

The Government is facing in¬ 
creasing pressure to provide 
better birth control facilities, 
including abortion, and more 
public information on popula¬ 
tion issues. 

Today it is being asked to 
pay Britain’s biggest charitable 
abortion agency to carry out 
the abortions the health ser¬ 
vice cannot cope with. Yester¬ 
day a coalition of population 
groups handed in a letter at 10 
Downing Street urging better 
public education and more aiid 
to the third world. 

The British Pregnancy Advi¬ 
sory Service, a charity provid¬ 
ing 25,000 abortions a year, 
argues today that k should be 
paid on an agency basis 
because the health service can¬ 
not meet the demand. Such an 
arrangement would allow the 
service to provide free or 
cheap abortions and help to 
remove the injustice of allow¬ 
ing some women to have free 
treatment while obliging many 
more to pay in full. 

The service wants an arran¬ 
gement similar to that which 
existed between the Family 
Planning Association and local 
authorities before family plan¬ 
ning was transferred to the 
health service. The association 
provided clinics and other con¬ 
traceptive services as the local 
authority agent. 

The service, in a discussion

paper on the Lane report on 
the Abortion Act, says it would 
be happy to be taken over 
eventually by the health ser¬ 
vice but suggests that it will 
be many years before that is 
possible. Agency status and 
permission to perform outpa¬ 
tient abortions would do more 
to abate the injustice of some 
women haring to pay for their 
abortions chan any other easily 
implemented and practicable 
measure. 


The service ran a six-month 
trial of outpatient abortions at 
its Brighton nursing home ear¬ 
lier rids year, under stringent 
conditions imposed by die 
Department of Health and Soc¬ 
ial Security. Its paper suggests 
that.-the conditions should be 
reduced to those recommended 
by the Lane report because 
experience showed that it was 
unnecessary to reserve a bed 


for every woman having an 
outpatient-abortion.

was expected to double within 
30 years, the letter said, and if 
due importance of world prob¬ 


lems was not recognized any 
short-term. progress would be 
illusory.

Cinema closures cause 

concern for future 

of UK film industry 


By a Staff Rcpnrter 

Closures have leFt many 
medium and small size towns 
'-without a cinema and the 
British FUlm Institute is con¬ 
cerned not only about this but 
about the future of feature film 
production in Britain. 

. '“Unless cinema is to become 
essentially a historical subject ” 
the - institute's annual report 
says, “the continuance of a 
healthy production and exhibi¬ 
tion industry is of crucial con¬ 
cern to she institute in its role 
of fostering the art of the 
fihn.** 

Lord Lloyd of Hampstead, 
chairman of the BFI, said -the 
rsgwdly rising cosls of material*! 
and .services, the rates of 
- salaries end wanes, and by no 
means trivial factors such as 
.VAT exceeded anything that 
had been experienced in recent 
years. 

He also warned bodies in 
-receipt of grant-aid from the 
■ Institute that it was quite im- 
. possible, financed as it was by 
■-government grant, to enter into 
firm commitments with any 
■. bodies that had previously re- 
"ceiyed financial aid. 

. UnrH the Government had 
.^received their budgetary re¬ 
quirements and in formed'them 
,of the amount of gram, it was 
, Impossible to predict the extent 
, r :of their response; that was to 
’’•.dispel a nth?understanding that 
vaid received in the past meant 
"i.that there was some kind of 
legal, or moral obligation to give 
'• c«nparable support in subse¬ 
quent years. 

£400,000 request: The BFI is 


a £400.000 grant from 
We . Department of Education 
ana Science to enable it to move 
into centralized headquarters in 
tae West End of London. The 
institute, at present scattered 
between tave offices in Soho and 
blooms bury, is negotiating to 
lease .^seven-storey office block 
with cinema on the site of the 
farmer Sea fa Cinema in Char¬ 
lotte Street, near Tottenham 
Court Road, to combine its ad¬ 
ministrative and library ser¬ 
vices. 

Besides money to pay for 
alterations, die BFI will also 
n ®ed planning permission From 
the local authority, Camden 
council, to convert the 400-seat 
basement cinema into 10 small 
preview theatres and viewing 
cubicles. 

Since any move would leave 

unaffected die operations of the 
Nationa-1 Film Theatre on the 
South Bank, the institute has 
n .° 1 _ use f®T r ^ e J 3r Se auditorium, 
although it was built as a public 
cinema. The showroom on the 
ground floor would be converted 
to a film reference and borrow¬ 
ing library. 

Mr Alan Hill, deputy director 
of the institute, said yesterday : 
“This move would not only 
make us more efficient but 
would also provide a way of 
getting people to the services 
we ofEer. Communications are a 
severe problem, especially in 
moving film between our offi¬ 
ces, and centralizing in one 
building would help staff rela¬ 
tions.” 

It is understood that the 
annual rent would be about 
£250,000. 


Consultants 
promise 
to fight for 
pay beds 

A committee of hospital con¬ 
sultants, representing the 
British Medical Association, the 
British Denial Association and 
the Royal Colleges and Facul¬ 
ties, has committed itself to 
campaign for the preservation 
of private practice “ both with¬ 
in and outside the NHS™. Pay 
beds in bealrh service hospitals 
must be retained, the committee 
says. 

Private practice was needed 
to ensure the maintenance of 
standards of knowledge and 
skill, the encouragement of 
education and research, and the 
best use of those skills and 
resources. 

The freedom of the individual 
patient, which was promised 
when the health service was 
formed, must be preserved. 

Details of the commitment by 
the joint committee are given 
in rhe British Medical Journal 
Supplement, published yester¬ 
day. 

Dr Clifford Astley. chairman 
of the Central Committee for 
Hospital Medical Staffs, said: 
“ We must take a stand on this. 
We cannot agree to phase out, 
taking a premium to go full 
time." 

The future of private practice 
is being examined by a working 
party chaired by* Dr David 
Owen, Minister of State for 
Health. But the Government is 
already committed to phasing 
pay beds out of the health ser¬ 
vice. 

It -has been suggested that 
consultants will be given a sub¬ 
stantial pav rise if they agree 
to work full time for the health 
service. 


trouiUnder one roof: Latin for the retired 
docker, tuition for the child genius 


By-Tnn Devlin 
Education Correspondent 

.’ A private day school which is 
jrffcpared to give retired dockers 
.free.Latin lessons in a group of 
children, of all ages, abilities, 
and backgrounds was opened 
resterday in the East End of 
London. 

.The experimental Gatehouse 
icbool is housed in an old and 
iamb-damaged school building 
p Bethnal Green. It has 300 
Hipils. aged between two and a 
alf and 15. But Mrs Phyllis 
ysllbank, the headmistress, 
. nnounced at the opening cere- 
Mny that the doors were now

f the community. 

. -She said : “ Education should

tfanal Green, or perhaps one 
the old traditional games 
e - hop-scotch or marbles, 
ich arc dying out.” 

The school in its embryo 
m was started by Mrs Wall- 
tk, a former children's officer 
Buckinghamshire, in 19+S on 
dress allowance from her 
iband, a clergyman. It had 
hr.children and was housed

irch of St Bartholomew' the 
:ar, Southfield, in the City, 
■ater the school expanded 
i three separate buildings but 


Dr Huddleston: “ East End is 
best” 

gifts from the Tesco chain and 
from the Variety Club of Great 
Britain have now made it pos¬ 
sible for ail the pupils to be 
again under one roof. 

The school was formed into a 
charitable trust in 1964 and has 
attracted tbe attention of edu¬ 
cationalists in Sweden, France, 
and America. But £60,000 more 
is needed to give the school 
central heating. 

A11 the children wear red and 
grey uniforms. Mrs Wallbank 
said that about 10 are “ super¬ 


normal ”, with intelligence 
quotients of more than 170. 

Thirty-seven pupils are handi¬ 
capped :. one is blind, others 
are brain-damaged, psychotic, 
mongol, epileptic, retarded, 
dyslexic, spastic, autistic, or 
suffering^ from- spina bifida or 
neurological disorders. 

About 75 children come from 
deprived families in the 
locality. Most are from one- 
parent families or families 
living in one room, Mrs 
Wallbank said. About 60 are 
maladjusted. 

The school’s fees are from 
£65 to £113 a terra, but under 
the terms of the trust, fees are 
reduced or waived for a tenth 
of the children. The fees of 
many other children are paid 
by local authorities. 

. Mrs Wallbank said the school 
aimed to ■ allow each child, 
helped by other children, to 
develop its full potential Each 
pupil should receive about 30 
minutes’ -individual tuition a 
day. / 

The Bishop of Stepney, Dr 
Huddleston, who opened the 
school, said : “ The. best accom¬ 
modation for any experimental 
experiment is not to - be found 
in the arid wastes of suburbia 
but in the East End of London.” 

Dr Huddleston went on to 
say that rhe British were 
obsessed with the idea that they 
were doomed unless they could 
secure improved economic 
status. 

“Nothing could be more 
false ”, he said. '* The truth of 
the matter is that economic 
structures and systems are a 
reflection of people’s underly¬ 
ing spiritual values. If we can¬ 
not recover our spiritual 
realities, there is no future for 
us and we shall meet total and 
deserved disaster."

Michael McVerry. 

Miss Ward agreed that she 
bad told the police that she had 
collected the Euston bomb from 
a man called Alec Roundtree,

feared reprisals, against her 
nephew, threatened by a Mr and 
Mrs John Hardy, who were 
really Kieran McMorrow and 
Marlene Coyle. 

She went with “ Hardy to 
Derby, she said, but denied that 
she went to collect “a sub¬ 
stance” and bring it back to 
Manchester. 

Miss Ward also denied that 
she had been “propositioned” 
into placing the bomb on the 
soldiers’ coach or that she 
cot drunk in a public house on 
the night the coach blew up 
because she knew the dreadful 
thing was going to happen. 

She admitted telling a woman 
prison officer that only three 
people knew about the bomb, 

myself, McMorrow and 
Marlene Coyle”. 

The trial was adjourned uuni 
today. 


Town hall that 
might fall 
down is closed 

Froni Our Correspondent 
Bletchley 

An immediate closure order 
was placed on Buckingham town 
hall yesterday when councillors 
learnt that-it was in danger of 
falling down. The building has 
dominated the centre of. the. old 
market town since the seven¬ 
teenth century and now needs a 
£200,000 restoration if it is to 
be retained. The estimate in¬ 
cludes £30,000 for rewiring, for 
a survey has shown that the 
building plight.go up in flames 
at any minute. 

The town ball, a listed build¬ 
ing, cannot be demolished with¬ 
out a public inquiry. The Vale 
of Aylesbury District Council, 
which has. taken over the 
borough, must spend £35,000 
simply to make the building safe 
for passers-by. 

Mr Derek Pullen, a former 
mayor, has said thar half the 
townspeople would like the hall 
demolished, but Mrs Edna 

Embleton, also a former mayor, 
said yesterday that 60 people at 
a meeting were in favour of 
keeping the hall and only three 
were against.

Cattle prices 
down 

again after 
recovery 

By Our Agricultural 
Correspondent 

Evidence of a sharp reversal 
©f last week's slight recovery in 
cattle prices came yesterday 
■s an official of the National 
Onion of Agricultural and Allied 
Workers urged hu members 
not to cooperate in slaughtering 
Calves. 

Hie Meat and Livestock Cora- 
tnission reported that the 
average United Kingdom auction 
price for far steers and heifers 
was about £13.10 a live cwt 
Compared with £13.38 a week 
before. The National Farmers' 
Union said: “ The figures are a 
little bit at variance with ours, 
but the trends are the same. 
The market is nor recovering **- 

Mr John Hardy. NUAAW 
‘organizer in Salop and North 
Wales, said: “The extreme 
action which farmers in this 
area are proposing is not only 
inhumane but will damage the 
nation and the farming 

Industry 

The Salop branch of the NFU 
said on Wednesday that it inten¬ 
ded to start a local campaign of 
calf slaughtering because the 
scarcity and high price of 

winter* fodder had made it 

impossible for the farmers to 
keen the animals. 

Mr Hardy said that the Salop 
plan to slaughter calves for use 
in petfood was inhumane and 
irresponsible. "If any farm¬ 
workers are asked by their 

basses to assist in this they will 
be advised by me not to 
cooperate”, he said. 

Tbe NFU said in London that 
calf slaughterings were running 
at a national level of about 
14,500 a week, compared with 
10,000 a month ago and fewer 
than 4.000 this time last year. 
The Government’s failure to 
protect beef farmers against 
falling returns posed a serious 
threat to national supplies of 
beef after next year. 

The Meat and Livestock Com¬ 
mission has estimated that beef 
farmers need at least a third 
more than they are receiving 
at livestock auctions to break 
even on the costs of producing 
mature cattle. 






Actors’ plea: A deputation from 
Equity, the actors’ union, which spon¬ 
sors the Save London’s Theatres 
Campaign, called at the Department 
of the Environment yesterday to 
present a petition signed by practically 
every actor now working in the West 
End and about 700 members of the 
public, calling for a public inquiry into 
the application by Trust House Forte 
to redevelop the Criterion Theatre site 
in Piccadilly Circus. The application 


was approved by Westminster City 
Council this week. The deputation was 
led by Sir John Gielgud (right), the 
others being (from left) Mr Edward 
Woodward, Mr Richard Briers, Miss 
Fenella Fielding, Mr Dominic Le Foe 
and Miss Miriam Karilng. Sir John 
said they felt the inquiry should be 
a general one, not only into the 
Criterion but the whole of the Shaftes¬ 
bury Avenue/Charing Cross Road area. 
“ They keep on changing their minds ”, 


he said, ** on something so important 
for tourism, the small shops and 
businesses as well as ourselves.” Mr 
Woodward said it was little known that 
most tourists put at the top of their 
List of reasons for visiting London that 
they were “ doing the theatres Miss 
Karlin said they spoke for everyone, 
including “Joe Doakes”, the small 
shopkeeper. The deputation was seen 
by a senior official in the absence of 
Mr Crosland, the Secretary of State. 


Police fear takeover by civilians 


From Peter Evans 

Home Affairs Correspondent 

Scarborough 

Police Federation delegates 
at their annual conference at 
Scarborough yesterday de¬ 
manded a limit to the use of 
civilians in case industrial action 
unpaired the efficiency of the 
force. 

Sergeant Alan Sanderson, of 
Cleveland, said that civilian 
“ scenes of crimes ” officers had 
been photographed marching 
through London with placards 
Ln support of their pay claim. 
“ No scenes of crime visited 
that morning'', he said. In 
Cardiff, traffic wardens staged 
a sit-in. Vehicle workshop staff 
in a northern force had worked 
to rule. During a Nalgo (local 
government union) dispute not 
involving members worldng witb 
the police, a police chief saw a 
danger that k would spread and 
made preparations to cope. He 


was told that that would be 
strike-breaking. “ We will black 
you ”, he was warned. 

Sergeant Sanderson told dele¬ 
gates : “ Do not let the finest 
police service in the world be 
drawn into confrontation with 
ardent and sometimes militant 
trade unionism at our and the 
public expense ”. 

In fact, it was acknowledged 
during the debate that police 
and civilians work well to¬ 
gether and it was pointed out 
that In the main the civilian 
workers deserved respect. What 
worried delegates was the belief 
that civilians were cot merely 
aiding policemen but replacing 
them. “ Administratively we 
have beeo taken over ”, the con¬ 
ference was told. 

Sergeant J. Harris, of Devon 
and Cornwall, unsuccessfully 
opposing the motion ftom the 
platform, argued that the real 
enemy was shortage of police¬ 


men. He feared that passing 
the resolution as it stood might 
mean an unrepresentative out 
vocal minority misrepresenting 
the conference views as mean¬ 
ing that delegates were out to 
limit the right trade union mem¬ 
bers to withdraw their labour. 

Later the conference heavily 
defeated a motion demanding 
the right of policemen to strike, 
a demand rejected three times 
before at conferences. 


Anti-violence drive 

Mr Michael Bowmer, a 
former Scots Guards sergeant, 
who was recently appointed 
commandant of the 500-strong 
Derbyshire Special Constabu¬ 
lary, has started a campaign to 
recruit 5,000 special constables 
from former soldiers and police¬ 
men to help to fight violence in 
the county. 


Man killed 
parents, 
court told 

Police officers called on 
Wednesday to a house in Leeds 
found a brutal double murder, 
Mr Ian Pollard, for the prosecu¬ 
tion, said at Leeds Magistrates 1 
Court yesterday. 

Carl Hinchcliffe, aged 36, a 
miner, of Lingwell Avenue, 
Leeds, was charged with the 
murders of his mother, Emily, 
aged 74, and father, James 
Hinchcliffe, aged 70. 

Mr Pollard said Mr Hinch- 
cliffe’s parents were lying dead 
in the boose with head injuries. 

Mr Barrington Black, for Mr 
Hinchcliffe, said that on Tues¬ 
day tdghr Mr Hinchcliffe had 
committed an offence. He had 
turned on his parents while out 
of his mind with remorse.

From Charles Hargrove 
Paris, Ocr 24 

President Giscard d’Estak 
announced today that he 
sene out invitations fur a 
Bimmir meeting of beads of 
government of the Nine in 
Paris at the end of November 
or beginning of December. He 
also said he would in touch 
today wish a number of leading 
oil-producing countries and in¬ 
dustrialized and non-iudus-. 
triaHzed oil consumers to see if 
a conference couid be called at 
the beginning of next year .on 
the world energy problem. He 
would like Europe to be repre¬ 
sented as one entity at such a 
conference. 

The President made these two 
announcements at his second 

“ press meeting ” since he took 
office. It was devoted, as he 
put it, to " the place of France 
as she is, in the world as it is ”. 
The first meeting, on July 25, 
was on domestic problems. 

In spite of a strong under¬ 
current of criticism of the 
alleged indecision of the Presi¬ 
dent and tiie Government, be 
displayed a relaxed self-assur¬ 
ance and mastery 1 of the many 
subjects on wham he was ques¬ 
tioned, replying in a quiet, 
undramatic. styie which he has 
made -his own. 

“France is lucky”, he said. 
“To have political leaders who 
do not; as those of some 
other countries, have their eye 
set on popularity polls. I conduct 
policy in the interests of 
France, nor in those of my own 
popularity.” 

He had opened in a rather 
sombre key. “ The world is 
unhappy, and has the feeling it 
is heading for catastrophe”, he 
said. However, prospects justi¬ 
fied concern, but not despon¬ 
dency. The situation was nothing 
like that of the 1930s. 

There was a marked emphasis 
throughout the press conference 
on the need for international 
cooperation to .overcome the 
world crisis. “World problems 
require world solutions”, he 
said. “ France will give priority 
to consultation and cooperation, 
first of all in Europe. We must 
react with the union of 
Europe.” 

To. assuage Gmdlast fears that 


die doctrine of national inde- 
pen deuce was bang gradually 
whittled away, he went on to 
add, however: " France vrili 

preserve her sovereignty of d* 
cisiOa within the framework of 
her international commitments.' 

He was naturally questioned 
closely about the possible sur¬ 
renders or transfers of sover¬ 
eignty involved in the Govern¬ 
ment’s European policy. The 
mere fact of belonging to an 

international organization in¬ 
volved a transfer of sovereignty, 
but the organization of Europe 
muse progress on two -lines: the 
practical organization of the 
political institutions of Europe, 
and for this there should. be 
meetings three of four tunes a 
year of heads of government of 
the Community; and problems 
of substance, like energy. ' ' 

Transfers of sovereignty 
would not be. discussed at the 
next European summit. It would 
be a practical meeting, which 
would also take up the process 
of deGLshxMnaking of the Coun¬ 
cil of Ministers of the Commun¬ 
ity. and the limitation of tbe 
right of veto. This was not ,a 
limitation of sovereignty but did 
involve some transfer of it. 

“The ultimate objective of 
France is, however, a confederal 
structure for Europe ”, he said. 
“This involves a limitation of 
national rights of decision, but 
France is ready to go forward 
on this." 

On the problem of energy, he 
said the oil producers needed 
to invest; and to do so they 
needed a stable world. They 
had an interest in avoiding 
world economic convulsions. 
The world conference of 10 to 
12 countries on energy he pro¬ 
posed would have to give oil 
producers a guaranteed income; 
by pegging the price of oil to 
an index. 

To a question on French 
nuclear defence, M Giscard 
d’Estaing laid down the doc¬ 
trine : “ The French nuclear de¬ 
terrent can be employed only 
against another unclear power 
or to meet a threat of invasion 
of French territory. On the 
other hand,- I think France 
should not use her nuclear 
means against non-nuclear 
powers, and I hope this attitude; 

E rogressively, will be adopted 
y others.” 


Socialist attitudes nettles 
French Communists 


From Richard Wigg 
Paris, Oct 24 

M Georges Marchais, leader 
of the French Communist Party, 
today told the Socialist Party, to 
whom it is allied in an electoral 
effort to win power, that the 
Communists had no intention of 
“ being reduced to the role of a 
supplementary force 

He was opening a three day 
extraordinary party congress at 
Vitry-sur-Seine, outside Paris, 
which is Intended to underline 
the Communists’ refusal to take 
second place on the left. The 
party is trying to convince the 
French working class that if its 
sympathies are to the left, ir 
is not enough simply to swell 
the party ranks of M Mitter¬ 
rand, the Socialist leader. 

The Communists voted 
massively for the joint left-wing 
candidate at last May’s presi¬ 
dential elections, but a marked 
reluctant by Socialists and left- 
wing radicals to vote for a Com 
munist candidate emerged 
clearly at six recent by-elections 
across France. 

M _ Marchais has taken 
exception to the Socialists pro¬ 
claiming at their recent con¬ 
gress that they represented the 
sole “alternative”. The 
emulation, as the rivalry 
between the two French left- 
wing parties to gain more 
voters and influence is called, 
could not mean, Mr Marchais 
said, each party aiming to 
strengthen itself ro the detri¬ 
ment of the other, so as ti 
impose its will afterwards. 

M Marchais strove to con¬ 
vince the working class that a 
strong Communist Party was 


the best way to make sure its 
interests were heeded- What an 
excellent thing it would be, he 
said, if the party polled 25 per 
cent of all the votes cast at 
French elections. In the first 
round of last year's parliament¬ 
ary elections the Communists 
obtained 21 per cent against 
19 per cent for the Socialists 
and left-wing Radicals and 35 
per cent for the Gaullists- 

France’s present economic 
difficulties weer part of a pro¬ 
found social crisis. The com¬ 
munist countries were not 
experiencing such a crisis, nor 
energy shortages, nor higher 
petrol prices. 

M Marchais sought to widen 
his appeal to the other social 
classes, promising them, that a 
left-wing government would 
preserve their individuality. 

There would be 450,000 
members of the party by the 
end of this year, he said, after 
the highest annual increase 
since 1947. It was only through 
a “union of the e French 
people ” that the working class 
could be sure of success. 

In a Sofres public opinion 
poll published in Le Figaro 
today, 50 per cent of those 
questioned said they thought 
tbe Communists would be in 
government in the next five 
years. Only 34 per cent dis¬ 
counted this possibility. 

Forty-two per cent said they 
felt the Communists, if they 
gained power, would seek to 
impose socialism ; 37 per cent 
thought they would keep to the 
promises of the “ common pro¬ 
gramme Fifty-six per cent 
believed the Socialists would 
play the most important govern¬ 
ment role. 


Rise in NZ ; 
butter price : 
would not 
hurt Britain 

From Our Own Correspondent 

Brussels, Oct 24. 

New Zealand dairy farmers' 
are expected to receive an 
«tra flOra or so next year for 
the butter and cheese they sell 

on th e British.market;.but the 
extra money/they- would", get 
will not affect consumer prices 
in Britain.. . 

- This is because the money will 
come from taxes which Brifeh 
importers have to pay bn cheap 
New Zealand butter and cheese 
to bring prices- to prevailing 
EEC levels. These levies vnlj be. 
cut by the equivalent of'18- per 
cent 

Ah extra payment .Was 
requested by the New Zealand 
Government to compensate their 
farmers for a 30 per cent rise 
in freight and production’ costs 
during the past couple of years. 
The New Zealanders put pres¬ 
sure for a better deal on.the 
European Community, ..which, 
under Britain’s membership 
terms, is responsible for New 
Zealand exoorts of dairy, pro¬ 
ducts to Britain. 

In response, the European 
Commission has now suggested 
an 18 per cent increase in the 
prices the New Zealanders will 
receive for their dairy produce 
from Tanuarv L 
Under the terms of Britain’s 
treaty of accession to the Com¬ 
munity, New Zealand was 
allowed to export certain quan¬ 
tities of butter and cheese to. 
Britain at certain prices. Last 
year, for example, their, butter 
quota was 166.000 tons and their 
cheese quota Sy.uuu tons. Next 
year these quotas will have fal¬ 
len to about 150,000 and 45JHK) 
tons respectively. - 
For a number of reasons, 
among them rising production 
costs, the New Zealanders were 
unable last year to fulfill their 
quotas. Exports of butter and 
cheese to Britain totalled about 
131,000 and 46,000 tons res¬ 
pectively. 

Tbe new price rise, if it is 
accepted by member govern¬ 
ments, could help to change this 
sit nation." Yet an increase of 18 

S er cent, which would be well 
elow the figure requested by 
New Zealand, may not be suf¬ 
ficiently large to encourage 
dairy farmers to send more of 
their produce to Britain. ■ "

Concessions in 
Spain to 
student doctors 

From Our Correspondent 
Madrid, Oct 24 ; ~ , 

The Spanish Government' 
today ended its lock-out of 
student doctors. The National 
Social Security Institute an¬ 
nounced that they could go 
back to their jobs in govern¬ 
ment-run hospitals. No pntdsh 
ment would be imposed on die 
trainee doctors for their pro¬ 
test which led to thei lock-out, 
provided they fulfilled their 
dunes and attended classes 
normally, for the rest of the 
academic year. 

The Social Security Institute, 
which had previously refused 
even to meet an elected grie¬ 
vance committee of the trainee 
docrocs, reached * tentative 
agreement to' end the dispute 
last night, through the medi¬ 
ation of the National Board of 
Medical Associations. 

The lock-out, which had. 
been applied progressively at a 
number of hospitals through¬ 
out the country, starting early 
last week, resulted in an over¬ 
load of work for staff doctors. 
They were no longer able to 
handle routine out-patient con 
s ul rations-- 

Under the tentative agree¬ 
ment reached between the 
Spanish medical associations 
jemd the Government, the So© 
ial Security. Institute agreed 
not to employ “non-profes¬ 
sional criteria ” in the selec¬ 
tion of candidates : for per¬ 
manent posts. It also agreed to 
negotiate on the grievances 
through the medical associ¬ 
ations, provided that' no fur- 
ther interruptions to education. 
or routine hospital duties? 
occurred. • - • • : : :-

Fears of French 
broadcasting 
staff are rising 

From Our Own Correspondent 
Paris, Ocr 24 

News today that M Maurice 
Siegel, Director-General of the 
French commercial radio station 
Europe One, is to be relieved 
of his post heightened the wide¬ 
spread unease among French 
broadcasting personnel over the 
Government’s reorganization of 
ORTF, the television and radio 
state network. 

Journalists at ORTF, which 
decided should be broken up 
into separate broadcasting 
units with consequent re

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 


WEST EUROPE, 


Plan for direct elections in 1980 


likely to be approved 
by the European Parliament 


From David Cross 
"Brussels, Occ 24 
. The European Community's 
]$0 million voters would go to 
the polls during the first week¬ 
end of May 1980, to choose 355 
members tor the first directly 
elected European Parliatneut 
gilder new draft plans unveiled 
in Brussels today. 

The proposals, drawn up by 
■■Dutch member of the Parlia'. 

. ment, Mr Schelte Parijn, are 
designed to put some flesh on 

- £EC aspirations for die elec¬ 
tion by direct universal suf¬ 
frage of European parliamen- 

. wrians. The draft convention 
which Mr Parijn has produced 
hits received wide support 
from other European MPs and 
its broad outlines are expected 
to be approved by the Assem¬ 
bly as a whole in the near 
. future. 

Its timing is of considerable 
iignificance, as the whole ques¬ 
tion of the future role of the 

- Parliament, including direct 
elections, could come up at the 
proposed European summit 

. conference in December. There 

- are growing signs of a change 
. . of- heart by the French Govern¬ 
ment, which blocked earlier 
attempts to make the Euro¬ 
pean Parliament a more demo¬ 
cratic and powerful body. 

Ar a press conference in 
" Brussel*: today, Mr Parijn said 
.there were three main prob- 

- jams concerning the content of 
; a convention on direct elections 

to- the European Parliament. 
These were the electoral proce¬ 


dure which should be used in 
the member states, links with 
national parliaments, including 
the difficult problem of dual 
mandates fnr MPs, and the 
number of members there 
should be in anv directly 
elected body. 

Although' all nine member 
countries shared the principle of 
universal, free, equal and sec 
ret elections, national electoral 
systems varied considerably in 
detail, Mr Parijn said. In some 
countries, for example, vurers 
were allowed to vote at 18 and 
in others at 21; in some coun¬ 
tries voting was compulsory 
and in others it was optional. 

In view of these differences, 
he was recommending that 
member states should be free 
to use their own electoral sys¬ 
tems in any direct elections to 
the European Parliament. But 
the date of the elections would 
be synchronized and the man¬ 
date for European MPs set at 
five years. He bad chosen 19S0 
because this was rhe earliest 
practical date elections could 
take place and because it coin¬ 
cided with the target date for 
European union. 

On the question of the Euro¬ 
pean Parliament’s future rel¬ 
ations with national parlia¬ 
ments, Mr Patijn said there 
was genera] agreement that 
links between these bodies 
should be maintained. Neverthe¬ 
less, although he thought it 
should be possible for Euro¬ 
pean parliamentarians to hold 
a national mandate as well as 


a European mandate, it should 
not be compulsory. 

He hoped that narional par¬ 
liaments would take measures 
in both their own interests and 
in the European interest to 
facilitate the work of members 
who wished to retain their 
national mandate, so that they 
would be able to carry out 
their European duties 

This enuid he achieved, he 
suggested, by releasing Euro¬ 
pean MPs from active partici¬ 
pation in national parliaments 
or by delegating their voting 
rights in their narional parlia¬ 
ment to colleagues. 

On the delicate question of 
the number of seats in a 
directly elected Parliament, Mr 
Patijn said he favoured a rel¬ 
atively small increase in, mem¬ 
bership from the present 198 
to 355 members. This would 
make the Parliament more 
representative of the Com¬ 
munity’s 250 million inhabi¬ 
tants, but would not make it 
too cumbersome or overrepre¬ 
sented for the relatively light 
workload it had to fulfil. 

He had calculated his figures 
on the basis of population , in 
the various member countries, 
but without any reduction in 
the present number of any 
member country’s represent¬ 
atives. Under his proposed 
scheme West Germany would 
be entitled to 71 members. 
Britain to 67, Italy 66, France 
65, the Netherlands 27, Bel¬ 
gium 23, Denmark 37, Ireland

Herr Schmidt awaits 
verdict of voters 


From Dan van der Vat 


Bonn, Oct 24 

More titan 31 million voters 
in two West German states have 
the chance on Sunday to de- 
liver a verdict on the Schmidt 
administration five months after 
it took office. 


on Sunday. The only question 
is how big its majority will be. 
When it comes to the choice of a 
chancellor-candidate from the 
CDU and the CSU, Herr Strauss 
will once again be the king¬ 
maker. 


Nobody pretends chat the state 
parliamentary campaigns in the 
Lander of Hesse and Bavaria 
have been dominated by any¬ 
thing other than federal issues, 
and politicians of all parries in 
Bonn will study the results 
closely. 

As the campaigns went into 
top gear this month, it appeared 
for a while as if the Christian 
Democrat opposition (CDU) and 
iis Bavarian ally, the Christian 
Social Union (CSU), were doing 
their best to assist the fortunes 
of the Social Democrais (SPD) 
and the Free Democrats (FDP), 
who make up the ruling coali¬ 
tion in Bonn.

German typhoid 
outbreak 


is spreading 

From Our Own Correspondent 
Bonn, Oct 24 

The typhoid outbreak in 
south-west Germany, which had 
put 22 people in hospital by 
Tuesday, passed the 70 mark 
■ today and spread from Badcn- 
• • W.urrtemberg to the neighbour- 
..Jag state of Rhineland- 
Palatinate. 

■ The areas most heavily 
affected remain the cities of 
Stuttgart (29 cases) and 
Heidelberg (35) which are some 
. 45 miles apart. The first three 
cases in the Palatinate were 
. - reported from Ludwigshafen, 
; nulv about 12 miles from 
Heidelberg. 

Meanwhile, food analysts 
today cleared of suspicion the 
consignment of meat and potato 
‘ ‘salad originally blamed for 
spreading the infection. The 
firm near Ludwigshafen which 
made it has been allowed to 
iesume production. 


Norway is to claim large 
non-trawling zones 


From Our Correspondent 
Oslo. Oct 24 

Norway is to claim 5,320 
square nautical miles as non- 
trawling zones off the coast of 
Norway outside the present 12 
miles limit and wants this to 
be enforced from January 1- 

This was disclosed today 
when Mr Jens Eyensen, the 
minister with special responsi¬ 
bility for extension of the 
fisheries limit, gave derails of 
the “ limits list ” which be has 
presented to rhe countries most 
concerned, including Britain.. 

Four zones are included in 
the list. One off the coast of 
Troms covers the fishing 
ground of Jennegga and 
Malangsgrunnen. This stretches 
between four and 19 miles be¬ 
yond the 12-mile limit and 
covers a total of 1.500 sauare 
miles. The ban on trawling 
would be from October 1 to 
April 30. 

The second and third zones 


adjoin and include Hjelmsoey- 
banken and Nysleppen off the 
coast of western Finnmark. 
They cover 1,400 and 1.170 
square miles respectively. The 
distance outside the 12-raile 
limit is from 28 to 33 miles 
and 27 to 30 miles respectively. 
The ban on trawling would be 
from October 1 to March 31. 

The fourth zone is off the 
east coast of Finnmark and 
covers the Nordbankeu and 
Oevrebanken fishing grounds. 
The area is 27 to 42 miles be¬ 
yond the 12-miJe limit, which 
means that a small part of this 
area extends beyond a possible 
50-mile limit. The ban would 
be from October 1 to March 31. 

Mr Evensen said the restric¬ 
tions would be non-discrimina- 

t0r - V - • , u 
• The primary idea of the non¬ 
trawling zones is to avoid col¬ 
lision between trawlers and 
other types of gear like drift¬ 
ing nets and long lines. 


From Roger Berthoud 
Brussels, Oct 24 

Canada's desire to reduce its 
dependence on the United States 
by strengthening political and 
econ omic ties with Europe was 
the main theme of Mr Trudeau s 
second day in Brussels. 

After yesterday’s discussions 
wirh Belgian leaders, the Cana¬ 
dian Prime Minister spent today 
at the headquarters of Nato and 
the European Commuity. 


His talks at the European 
Commission centred on Canada’s 
not wholly welcome request of 
last April'for a non-preferential 
trade agreement with the EEC. 
Such agreements have hitherto 
been reserved for less industrial¬ 
ized countries with special trade 
problems, like India or Brazil. 

The Nine have agreed ar 
ministerial level that Canada 
and the EEC should negotiate 
some form of “ contractual link ” 
but remain divided over what 
form it should take. Canada 
originally suggested a very 
modest trade agreement. The 
Commission favours something 
more ambitious, but the French 
and British have doubts. 

Today’s discussions began 
with M Francois Xavier prtoli, 
president of the Commission, 


and Sir Christopher Soames, the 
commissioner for external and 
trade relations. 

At a special meeting of the 
■Nato Council this morning Mr 
Trudeau abandoned his pre¬ 
pared notes in favour of an 
open discussion with the per¬ 
manent representatives of the 
15 member states. Canada, he 
said, believed strongly in the 
value of Nato as a forum for 
consultation with its European 
partners and as a means of 
reducing its dependence on its 
strong neighbour. 

He advocated a novel way or 
selling Nato membership to the 
younger generation. Canada had 
had a public debate on defence, 
he said, and had concluded that 
ro belong to Naro was a good 
deal cheaper than going neutral. 


Man held over 


Moscow deaths 


by stabbin 


German call to oil states 


on increasing aid 


Moscow, Oct 24.—Police have 
caught a man they say stabbed 
two people to death in the 
capital recently, a Moscow 
evening newspaper reported 
today. 

The report follows rumours, 
denied by the police, that a 
group of psychopathic killers 
had escaped from a transit 
prison near the city, and police 
warnings to women not to go 
out alone at night.—Reuter. 


Bonn. Oct 24.—Herr Schmidt, 
the West German Chancellor, 
tonight called on the oil-export¬ 
ing countries to participate to 
a much larger extent in develop¬ 
ment aid. 

He said in a televison inter¬ 
view : “ 1 think we must demand 
that the oil-exporting countries, 
which are making such enorm¬ 
ous profits wirh the oil price 
rises and currently amassing 
huge additional income, should 
plav a much bigger pan in 
development aid than they have 
done so far” 

The Chancellor said that the 


German taxpayer could not be 
overburdened, but West Ger¬ 
many would be doubling iu 
annual development aid contri¬ 
butions during the next four 
years. . , 

The developing countries, and 
in particular the poorest deve¬ 
loping countries which had a 

E opulation of 800 million, had 
een hit especially hard by the 
oil price explosion of the past 
12 months. 

“Although we ourselves are 
suffering from the oil price 
rises, we have to help these 
countries above all 


A public dispute broke out in 
the Bonn opposition about who 
should be the candidate for the 
chancellorship to stand against 

Ilerr Schmidt in two years’ 
time at the next federal 
election. 

The argument was not only 
abour personalities. Some oppo¬ 
sition elements want to choose 
the chancellor-candidate after 
Sunday's elections, while others 
would prefer to wait until the 
next three state elections are 
over next May. 

The argument against an 
early choice is that it would 
give Herr Schmidt, that most 
formidable of debaters, two 
whole years to make mincemeat 
of any out the most robust oppo¬ 
sition leader. 

The argument for settling the 
issue as soon as practicable is 
to give the chancellor-candidate 
a good chance to win public 
acceptance, and to .put an end 
to a dispute which started 
almost on the night of the 1972 
federal election, and has done 
the opposition considerable 
damage. 

The question of the leader¬ 
ship has arisen at this unwel¬ 
come point thanks largely to the 
utterances of Herr Franz-Josef 
Strauss, chairman of the CSU, 
a party which functions, in 
Bavaria alone and which is a 
certainty to win control of the 
Munich Parliament once more 


Although Herr Strauss doe* 
not hold state office in Bavaria 
aud is not standing fnr one on 
Sunday, he has been leading the 
CSU campaign. In the course 
of his electioneering, drawing 
as ever the biggest crowds, he 
has been firing off interviews 
and comments in which he 
makes no secret of his deter¬ 
mination to sort out the leadec- 
ship issue. 

At one stage, it appeared rims 
he might, under appropriate 
circumstances, make a bid to 
become chancellor-candidate 
himself. Then he said he did 
not consider himself a candi¬ 
date. Earlier ini the year there 
were dark hwHs from Bavaria 
about ti»« CSU “ going federal " 
aatd becoming a l'ourxh nation¬ 
wide percy. Now Herr Straubs 
rejects such an idea. 

All this has been a remark¬ 
able denxueoratiou of the power 
he ixrids in the Boon opposition 
jk a whole. The CDU cannot 
ignore eh* fu« chat Herr Straus* 
has far greater political sraturp 
than any other opposition leader 
for choc 1976, when he will be 
61. muse represent his last 
chance for the chancellorship, if 
be wu k). 

The idea that the kingmaker 
might one day crown himself 
remains a retiJ, if remote, possi¬ 
bility. Only die other day he 
was eayicig that there was no 
reason why the CSU should not 
provide tile joint opposition 
candidate for a change. If it 
did, there can be no doubt as 
to hu identity. 

While the outcome of rite 
Bavarian election is certain, die 
skueaaon is different in Hesse. 
The ounce is ruled by a coalition 
of cb* SPD and FDP, as in 
Bonn. In 1970, at the last state 
election, these parties got 4.5)9 
and 10.1 per cent of the vote 
respectively, while the CDU fiiH 
39.7 per cent. 

The rating coalition is com¬ 
mitted no continue if it gets 
enough votes, so rhe CDU if 
trying for on absolute majority. 

Herein Hes the test for Herr 
Schmidt and his Government iti

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 197* 


ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OP KOREA 


Speech made by 

COMRADE KIM IL SUNG 


at the mass rally in welcome of 
the President of the Arab Republic of Syria 


Esteemed Your Excellency Mr. Presi¬ 
dent Hafez AJ Assad, esteemed guests 
from Syria, dear comrades and friends'. 

Today the people of all walks of life in 
Pyongyang have assembled here with a 
great joy of meeting the goodwill envoys 
of the Syrian people who have come with 
the warm, friendly feelings towards the 
Korean people. 

In the name of the Central Committee of 
the Workers’ party of Korea, the Govern¬ 
ment of the Democratic People’s Republic 
of Korea and the entire Korean people, I 
once again warmly welcome the party and 
Government delegation of the Syrian Arab 
Republic led by His Excellency Mr. Hafez 
A1 Assad, General Secretary of the Arab 
Baath Socialist Party and President of the 
Syrian Arab Republic. 

I also extend the warm friendly greet¬ 
ings of the Korean people, through you, 
to the fraternal Syrian people. 

Korea and Syria are both situated on the 
Asian continent and our two peoples are 
interlinked with the bond of firm militant 
friendship for the community of their past 
positions in which they were oppressed 
and maltreated under the imperialist 
colonial rule and for the identity of their 
present struggle to build a new life. 

Through our current meeting with you, 
we have keenly felt how much near our 
two peoples are to each other as comrades- 
in-arms fighting against the common 
enemy and as brothers, though a great 
geographical distance separates them. 

This bond of friendship interlinking the 
two peoples has been created precisely in 
the common struggle against imperialism 
and colonialism. 

We admire very much the successes 
made by the Syrian people in the building 
of a new society and particularly the 
heroism and patriotic devotion they dis¬ 
played in the October liberation war last 
year. 

Under the correct leadership of His 
Excellency Mr. President Hafez A1 Assad, 
their outstanding leader, die Syrian people 
dealt heavy blows at the Israeli aggressors 
in the October war last year and at the 
uninterrupted fierce battles on the Golan 
Height. This humbled the pride of the 
Israeli aggressors and made a breach in 
cheir ambitious plan of aggression to 
occupy and dominate the Arab land for 
ever. 

This also inspired the Arab peoples with 
the conviction that if a people rose up 
for their just cause in firm unity they 
could defeat any enemy, and marked a 
new turning-point in the solution of the 
Middle East question. 

We rejoice over the historic victory 
achieved by the Syrian people as our own 
victory and warmly hail it. 

All facts patently show that though they 
are undergoing temporary difficulties in 
their struggle against imperialism and 
Zionism and for the independent develop¬ 
ment of cheir country and territorial 
integrity, the Syrian people are confi¬ 
dently winning victory and advancing. ^ 

The Arab countries conducted joint 
military operations and took concerted 
economic action of oil embargo against the 
imperialists during the period of the 
October war last year, thereby dealing 
unprece den telly heavy blows at the im¬ 
perialists and Zionists and showed that 
if they fought as one in unity, the Arab 
countries could seize the imperialists by 
the scruff of the neck. 

The Zionists are now still ceaselessly 
perpetrating the acts of ■ aggression and 
military provocation against the Arab 
peoples with the active support of the 
imperialists and gravely menacing peace 
and security in the Middle East. 1 

But whatever desperate attempt . the 
imperialists and Zionists may make, it is 
no more than a death-bed struggle of those 
destined to ruin. 

It is entirely due to the aggressive acts 
of the U.S. imperialists and Zionists that 
the Middle Easr problem still remains 
unsolved and war is repeated in this 
region. - 

For a just settlement to the Middle East 
problem, above anything else, an end must 

be put to the aggressive machinations or 
the imperialists and Zionists in this 
region, the Israeli aggressors must get out 
of all the occupied Arab lands and the 
legitimate rights of the Palestinian people 



be restored completely. 

The Government and people of the 
Syrian Arab Republic maintain the firm 
and unshakable revolutionaiy stand to 
resort ro every available means in their 
power to liberate their lost land and 
positive efforts for a fair solution to. the 

Middle East problem. 

The Syrian people are making a big 
stride Forward in their endeavours to heal 
the war wounds, develop industry and 
agriculture and strengthen the armed 

forces. 

Our people will, in the future, too, as in 

the past, stand firm on the side of the- 
fratemal Syrian people fighting against 


imperialism and Zionism and for buildiog 
a new society and render active support 
to their just stand. 

The Korean people also manifest full 
supporr to and firm solidarity with the 
just struggle of the Palestinian people for 
the complete liberation of their homeland 
and the restoration .of their legitimate 
rights and the struggle of all the Arab 
peoples ro regaiD the occupied Arab lands 
and defend their national dignity. 

Today the struggle of the Arab peoples 
against imperialism and Zionism is deve¬ 
loping amid the joint struggle of the 
peoples the world over for peace and 
democracy, national independence and 
social progress. 

The Israeli aggressors are arrogantly 
bluffing, but they will surely suffer a 
defeat because they entrust their destiny 
to the moribund forces of imperialism. 

The Arab peoples will surely emerge 
victorious because they have a vast terri¬ 
tory, huge material resources and man¬ 
power and belong to the third world 
advancing from victory to victory as a new 
emerging force. 

The victory won by the Arab peoples in 
the struggle against the Israeli aggressors 
backed by U-S. imperialism is just a 
victory of our people and the victory of 
our people is a victory of the Arab 
peoples. 

At the instigation of U.S. imperialism 
the present rulers of South Korea have 
incessantly perpetrated hostile acts against 
the Arab peoples, in collusion with Israel, 
threatening that they would attack our 
Republic by applying the so-called 
“ Israeli tactics ”, But since what they call 
the “.Israeli tactics” was smashed to 
smithereens by the heroic struggle of the 
Syrian people, the plan of the South 
Korean authorities also has come to 
naught. 

The struggles of the Korean people and 
the Syrian people are in the relationship 
of mutual support and supplement and 
this relationship is being further consoli- 
.dated and developed as the days go by. 

Dear comrades and friends, the greatest 
national task confronting our people at 
present is to reunify the divided father- 
land at the earliest possible date. 

In order to accomplish the historic 
cause of national reunification, we have 
put forward three major tasks. 

The three tasks are, firstly, to power¬ 
fully push ahead with socialist construc¬ 
tion in the northern half of the Republic, 
secondly, to strengthen the revolutionary 
forces of South Korea by actively support¬ 
ing and encouraging the democratic move¬ 
ment of the South Korean people and, 
thirdly, to strengthen solidarity with the 
international revolutionary forces. 

Our people are now carrying- out the 
socialist construction with success in the 
northern half of the Republic under the 
leadership of our Party by embodying the 
Juche idea. 

Upholding the banner of three revolu¬ 
tions, ideological, technical and cultural,, 
our people are now all mobilized in the 
grand socialist construction to fulfil the 
Six-Year Plan ahead of schedule, and 
achieve the magnificent targets of con¬ 
struction for the next perspective plan, 
and are bringing about a great revolu¬ 
tionary upsurge on all fronts by waging a 
vigorous “ speed battle *\ 

The prospect of socialist construction is 
glorious and bright in our country. We are 
convinced that in the near future we can 
hit the higher targets of socialist construc¬ 
tion we have set. 

Encouraged by the successes in socialist 
construction in the northern half of the 
Republic, the South Korean people’s 
movement against fascism and for demo¬ 
cracy is steadily developing. 

Flaring up afresh in South Korea these 
days is the anti-“ Government ” struggle 
of the workers and student youths, intel¬ 
lectuals and religionists and people of all 
other strata who call for the democratiza¬ 
tion of society and the peaceful reunifica¬ 
tion of the fatherland ancL demand the 
abolition of the present military fascist 
ruling system in the teeth of so harsh 
fascist repression. 

This glaringly shows that no amount 
of fascist suppression can break the resis¬ 
tance of the people. 

The courageous struggle being waged 
by the South Korean people against the 
present South Korean rulers is a righteous 
struggle for the right to existence and 
democracy and *patriotic struggle for the 
country and the nation. 

Our party and the Government of the 
Republic will always render active assist¬ 
ance to the just struggle of the South 
Korean people with might and main, and 
accelerate the independent and peaceful 
reunification of the fatherland, uniting 
strength with them. 

The problem that must be solved before 
anything, else in the settlement. of the 
. question of -the reunification of our coun¬ 
try is to strip the U.S. troops occupying 



President Kim II Sung 


South Korea of “ U.N. Forces ” helmets- 
and compel them to withdraw to the last 
man. 

Today it has become an irresistible 
demand* of the times that the foreign 
troops going under the doak of the “ U.N. 
Forces ” should be withdrawn from South 
Korea. 

At the 29th session of the U.N. General 
Assembly now in progress the question of 
withdrawing all the foreign troops 
srationed in South Korea under the U.N. 
flag is due to be discussed at the joint 
proposal of 35 U.N. member states includ 
ing Syria. 

As the situation has turned unfavour 
able to them, these days the U.S. imperial¬ 
ists are scheming to flour world public 
opinion and avoid the troops’ withdrawal 
with preposterous sophism. They are 
clamouring that the U.S. troops stationed 
in South Korea are not the “ U.N. Forces ” 
but are the troops staying in South 
Korea under the so-called “ Rok-U.S. 
mutual defence treaty” and there will 
arise a danger of the recurrence of war if 
the “U.N. Forces” are withdrawn. 

When they think it is advantageous to 
use the name of the United. Nations in 
justifying the U.S. imperialist aggressor 
troops’ occupation of South Korea, they 
call the troops the “U.N. Forces” and 
when they think it is disadvantageous to 
wear the berets of the “U.N. Forces”, 
they say that the troops are not the “ U.N. 
Forces ”. This is the habitual gangster-like 
logic of the U.S. imperialists in the true 
sense of the word. 

It is a stark historical fact that before 
the fabrication of the “ Rok-U.S. mutual 
defence treaty ” the U.S. troops had 
already crept into South Korea carrying 
the signboard of the “ U.N. Forces ” with 
nothing can it be denied. 

When the U.S. troops’ stationing in South 
Korea cannot be justified even with the 
name of the “ U.N. Forces ”, it is all the 
more foolish . to try to justify it with a 
sort of “ treaty ” cooked up between U.S. 
imperialism and the traitorous clique of 
South Korea. 

The argument of U.S. imperialism that if 
the “ U.N. forces ” withdraw from South 
Korea without any guarantee for the imple¬ 
mentation of the armistice agreement, the 
danger of war will increase also does not 
stand to reason at all. 

The maintenance of the armistice in 
Korea is guaranteed not by the U.S. troops 
but by. the consistent, peaceful efforts of 
the Government of oar Republic. . 

If the foreign troops which are obstruct¬ 
ing the- peaceful reunification of Korea and 
causing the constant danger of war in 
Korea under the signboard of the “U.N. 
forces” withdraw in accordance with a 
resolution of the United Nations General 
Assembly, it will provide a firm guarantee 
for the preservation of peace in Korea and 
there will arise no other question of 
guarantee. 

If any question arises after the with¬ 
drawal of the foreign troops, it will not 


be a matter which any third party should 
meddle in but is an internal affair of 
the Koreans themselves and is a matter 
of such character as should be setrled 
through negotiations between the parties 
concerned of the north and the south. The 
north-south joint statement is the firm 
basis of such negotiations. 

If there is any question which will arise 
in the course of the withdrawal of the 
foreign troops, it can be dealt with through 
negotiations between the Democratic 
People’s Republic of Korea and the United 
States, the parties directly related with the 
question. 

As we have already proposed to the 
U.S. authorities to conclude a peace agree¬ 
ment. there will be no particular problem 
in rhis connexion. 

This notwithstanding, the U.S. authori¬ 
ties, while giving no reply to our proposal 
to conclude a peace agreement, are clam¬ 
ouring only about a sort of guarantee with 
regard to the withdrawal of the U.S. troops 
from South Korea. This is designed not to 
withdraw the U.S. troops from South Korea 
at any cost but to keep Korea divided into 
two parts forever and keep hold on South 
Korea at least. 

• In fact, if the U.S. troops stay on in 
South Korea, it will create the constant 
danger of war, and once a war breaks out, 
it will easily develop into a total war. 

If the United States does not want to 
suffer a heavier defeat in Korea and Asia, 
it should change its policy toward Kor&a 
and give up the attempt to boost up the 
present rulers of South Korea floundering 
in face of the fierce resistance and distrust 
oF the people. 

Under the condition where the South 
Korean authorities are following the road 
of selling off the country and betraying the 
nation, while persisting in the policy of 
dependence upon outside forces and the 
machinations to perpetuate the split of the 
nation and intesifying their fascist repres¬ 
sion of the South Korean people as they do 
now, it is impossible to solve the questiou 
of national reunification through negotia¬ 
tions only with the present South Korean 
authorities. 

Therefore, it is necessary to convene a 
great national congress extensively partici¬ 
pated in by the representatives of people 
of all srrata and various political parties 
and social organisations in the north and 
the south and hold negotiations in the 
spirit of great national unity irrespective 
of different ideologies and religious beliefs 
so as to remove division and confrontation 
in Korea and discuss the question of reuni¬ 
fication in earnest on the principles of 
unity and_ collaboration. 

Korea is one and our nation is a homo¬ 
geneous nation and, accordingly, it can 
never be split into two and cannot be 
divided into two countries forever. 

The three principles of independence, 
peaceful reunification and great national 
unity should be upheld in the spirit of the 
north-south joint statement. 

Firsr of all, the foreign troops bearing 
the signboard of the “ U.N. forces ” should 
get out of South Korea at the earliest 
possible date in order to ease the tension 
in Korea. 

If the foreign troops pull out of South 
Korea, a wide avenue will be opened for 
the independent and peaceful reunification 
of Korea. 

Today, the general situation is turning 
favourable with each passing day to the 


struggle of our people for reunifying rhe 
counrry independently and peacefully. 

U.S. imperialism and its lackeys are 
isolated from and rejecred more and more 
by the world people and international 
support to and solidarity with our revolu¬ 
tionary cause are being strengthened as 
never before. 

Today, availing myself of this oppor¬ 
tunity, 1 extend warm thanks to his Excel¬ 
lency President, the Syrian Government 
and people for the active support and 
encouragement of the government and 
people of the Syrian Arab Republic to the' 
just struggle of our people for the inde¬ 
pendent and peaceful reunification of the 
country and express deep thanks to the 
entire peace-loving countries and peoples 
of rhe world for their active support and 
encouragement to our cause of national 
reunification. 

Dear comrades and friends. 

Today imperialism is hit harder and 
driven out everywhere in the world and the 
third world people who had been oppressed 
and maltreated in the past have emerged 
in the arena of hisrory and are vigorously 
marching ahead along the road of inde¬ 
pendence. 

The international balance of farces has 
radically changed. Now the last say in rhe 
world arena belongs ro the peoples who 
had been once exploited and oppressed. 

Today in Asia there are many revolu¬ 
tionary countries and fighting countries 
and the vast area of Asia from Korea to 
China, Indo-China and the Near and 
Middle East has become the theatre of 
the anti-imperialist revolutionary struggle. 

The Cambodian people are continuously 
waging their valiant struggle against U.S. 
imperialism and its lackeys and for the 
complete liberation of the country, the 
South Vietnamese people, together with 
the North Vietnamese people, are actively 
struggling to ensure the strict implementa¬ 
tion of the Paris agreement and defend the 
already achieved gains of the revolution 
and the Lao people are struggling to build 
a reunified and prosperous, new Laos. 

We actively support the struggle of the 
Indo-Chinese peoples, the struggle of 
the Chinese people to liberate Taiwan, 
ibe inseparable part of rhe territory of the 
People’s Republic of China, and the 
struggle of all the Asian peoples against 
U.S. imperialism and Japanese militarism. 

The struggle of the people against the 
imperialist aggression and intervention 
and for defending national independence 
and sovereignty, protecting the resources 
of their respective countries and achieving 
their economic independence is gaining 
momentum with each passing day in Africa 
and Latin America as well as in Asia. 

We actively support the struggle oF the 
entire African people for sweeping away 
imperialism, colonialism and racism and 
achieving the complete liberation and uniry 
of Africa and express firm solidarity with 
the struggle of the Latin American people 
against the domination and control by the 
U.S. and for defending national sover¬ 
eignty, natural resources and the right to 
territorial waters. 

It is the irresistible basic trend of our 
era that imperialism is going to ruin and 
the' people are winning victory in their 
liberation srruggle. 

The fourth summit conference of non- 
aligned states held last year and many 
other subsequent international meetings 
including the sixth U.N. special confer¬ 
ence on raw material and development 
and the third U.N. conference on sea law 
vividly demonstrated the great influence 
exerted by the third world countries upon 
the development of the present inter¬ 
national relations and their united might. 

All facts show that if the third world 
people unite still firmer and fight in a 
concerted step, they can smash any aggres¬ 
sive machinations of imperialism and 
precipitare its final ruin and speedily 
build independent and prosperous, new 
Asia, Africa and Latin America. 

The Korean people will continue to 
resolutely fight for the victory of the anti- 
imperialist common cause in rhe future, 
too, as in the past, in firm unity with the 
peoples of the socialist countries, the 
peoples of the third world countries and 
all the progressive peoples of the world 
and positively support and encourage the 
struggle of the peoples of all countries 
against imperialism and colonialism. 

The Korean and Syrian peoples linked 
by revolutionary solidarity and friendly 
ties are fighting together and advancing 
together in Asia, the same continent. 

The current visit to our country of His 
excellency the President and the Syrian 
Party and government Delegation power¬ 
fully demonstrates that rhe friendship and 
solidarity between our two parties,.two 
countries and two peoples has reached 
the most solid, highest stage. 

We feel great satisfaction with it and 
will bend all efforts for further expanding 
and developing the friendly relations 
between our two countries in various 
fields in the future. 

The Korean people will always fight on 
firmly joining hands with the fraternal 
Syrian people for the victory of our com¬ 
mon cause under the uplifted revolution¬ 
ary banner of the anti-imperialist struggle. 

Long live the unbreakable, militant 
friendship and solidarity between the 
Korean and Syrian peoples I 

Long Jive the solidarity of the progres¬ 
sive peoples of Asia, Africa, Latin 
America and the rest of the whole world 1 

I wish His Excellency Mr. President 
Hafez al Assad and the Syrian people 
great t victory In the straggle against 
imperialism and Zionism and for terri¬ 
torial integrity and the independent 
development of the country.

From Our Own Correspondent 
New York, Oct 24 

The United Nations Secur¬ 
ity Council voted last night to 
renew the mandaLe of the 
emergency force placed be¬ 
tween the Israelis and tbe 
Egyptians for another six 
months. The voting was 13 to 
nil, with China and Iraq not 
taking part. 

The vote came after 
several days of difficult negoti¬ 
ations, centring on the cost of 
the force and where exactly it 
should go. The United States 
supported the Israel position 
that troops from countries 
which do not have diplomatic 
relations with Jerusalem 
should not be allowed into 
Israel-held territory. 

The final wording was a 
compromise between the 
Americans and the Russians, 
which restated the principles 
governing the force but left 
their enforcement ta Dr Kurt 
Waldheim, the United Nations 
Secretary-General.

King Faisal 
arrives 
in Rabat for 
summit 

From Edward Mortimer 
Rabat, Oct 24 

King Faisal of Saudi Arabia 
arrived here‘today, among the 
first of the Arab heads of state 
gethering for the summit con¬ 
ference which opens on Satur¬ 
day. 

He. was preceded last night 
by his son. Prince Saud Al- 
Faisal, Secretary-General of 
the Saudi Oil Ministry. Both 
oil aod currency reserves are 
likely to be discussed -as “ wea¬ 
pons ” in the Arab struggle to 
secure, complete Israel with, 
drawal from the occupied terri¬ 
tories by means of pressure oo 
Israel’s Western allies. 

According to ' the Beirut 
newspaper An Nohar, the sum¬ 
mit: will discuss economic war¬ 
fare and particularly, ways' 1 of 
making the Arab world safe 
against both economic and 
military reprisals 
However, the most intense 
discussion in -the preparatory 
meeting of foreign ministers 
a 1 now in progress here concerns 
the conflicting claims of Jor¬ 
dan and the Palestine Liber¬ 
ation Organization (PLO). Fur¬ 
ther efforts were being made 
today in a subcommittee to 
draft a resolution on this point 
for discussion at the summit. 

There is also discussion 
about the wording of a resolu¬ 
tion. on Palestine to be put for¬ 
ward by the Arab states in tbe 
coming debate at the United 
Nations General Assembly in 
New York, and about the line 
which the PLO should take 
when it addresses the Assem¬ 
bly in accordance with the in¬ 
vitation issued to it last week. 

Moderate Arab states are 
anxious that the resolution 
should be such as to get the 
support of all the 105 states 
which voted for the motion to 
give the PLO a hearing, many 
oE whom are committed to the 
existence of the state of Israel. 


This winter you'll want to be 
certain you make the most of 
all the warmth and comfort 
that dean and simple electric 
central heating provides. 

You'll want to ensure tliat 
you keep all the warmth where 
5t belongs—in your home. 



Don't let those Invisible 
Invaders sleai your heat and 
iwcll vour fuel bills. 

How can you keep them at 
bii>? 

Insulate your walls 

by cavity in-filling 

Much of the heat you pay for 
is snatched out by the Invisi¬ 
ble Invaders through the walls 
of your home. 

Having wall cavities filled 
with foam or mineral w ool can 
cut heat loss by ns much as 
one fifth—that's a valuable 
saving! 

Cavity filling is carried out 
by professionals, but the cost 
is vciy reasonable and you 
will haw a more comfortable 
home as well. 

The job usually lakes about 
a day, and there's littie mess 
or disruption. 

Ask your EIcciriciti Board 
for full details. 


Cutout those draughts 
It doesn't take much lo seal all 
those gaps around doors and 
windows. 

Your family will immedi¬ 
ately feel the benefit, and so 
will your pocket 

Insulate your roof 

Your roof is another place it 
will pay to insulate. 

You'll be surprised how' 
little it costs to put in a 3" layer 
■i/ of glass fibre-and how* much 
it will help to keep jour elec¬ 
tricity bills down. 

Lag your tank 

From about £4. you can lag 
your hot water tank w ith a 3" 
thick jacket, and heat the heat 
thieves again. 

This alone could cut future 
running costs by a quarter, 
enough to pay for the jacket in 
about three months.

Windows provide jet another 
escape route for the Invisible 
Invaders. 

Double glazing not only 
effectively keeps your heat in.

result bas been that ihd two 
men have solemnly agreed that

and both Mr Sargent and Mr 
Dukakis have taken the view 
that any exchanges between 
them, could have dangerous 
results. But is can be -pre¬ 
sumed that it also suits both of 
them to keep quiet about; it, 
because of the difficult-choice 
with which it would confront 
them. 

Both men have to appeal to 
liberal opinion in Massachu¬ 
setts as a whole—the only 
state to vote for Senator 
George McGovern, the Demo¬ 
cratic candidate for the presi¬ 
dency, in 1972. But both are

“ The governor is not running

away from it."

Man who landed 
on White House 
lawn is released 

From Our Own Correspondent 
Washington, Oct 24 

The young soldier who 
landed a stolen Army heli¬ 
copter twice on the White 
House lawn at night last Febru¬ 
ary bas been discharged after 
serving two montihs of a six- 
month hard labour sentence. 
The balance of his term has 
been suspended. 

An Army spokesman said ic 
was “ a general discharge for 
unsuitability ”—a dishonour¬ 
able discharge had not been 
part of the court martial sen¬ 
tence. The soldier also had for¬ 
feited S400 (about £374) in 

pay. 

The one dear result of-the 
affair has _ been to show up 
gaps in White House security.

About 93 per cent of homes can normally receive three channels; but with 
Labgear’s pre-amplifier attached to a suitable aerial, viewers in many areas can watch

in technical scope and in the quality of project management.

reached this country on 
Wednesday, as part of the 
Germany Farcers cultural jam¬ 
boree, just .a few days after 
its Donaueschingen premiere. 
A 67-minute piece, it is elabo¬ 
rated from a “ formula ”, a 
quasi-model . melody that de¬ 
fines not-only the pitches of the 
work, bur also its tempos, dyna¬ 
mics. timbres and gestures- Ges¬ 
tures in the’literal, bodily sense, 
for the soloist is not a musician 
but a mime. In this complex 
part. Elisabeth Clarke, a young 
American, Rave a beautiful per¬ 
formance, a great fedt of supple¬ 
ness and memory. The orchestra 
was that of South West German 
Radio, conducted by the com¬ 
poser.. - • 

To introduce 7nori and ex¬ 
pound its structure. Stock¬ 
hausen has. provided an intro¬ 
ductory lecture on Hu fche 
□ame of the most high and 
the object of the adorations). 

“ performed ” with sung 
illuso-ations by the soprano 
Gloria Davy. That was a worth¬ 
while exercise; for, although' 
Inori is not 'so formally com- 
7 >!ex as the somewhat s : milar 
Mantra for two pianos, it was 
helpful to be aware of the five 
grear sections of the composi¬ 
tion and their subdivisions.'In 
those principal sections the 
formula progressively flowers 
in rhythm, dynamics, melody, 1 
harmony and polyphony. Since 
melody enters only after 27 I 
minutes, the music begins with I 
a long, almost monotone (but 
not monotonous) study of G, 
the pitch associated with Hu. 

Thereafter the work builds in 
musical and dramatic richness. 
There are many powerful 
moments: -the introduction of 
harmony, for example, with the 
soloist rising for the first rime 
to rhe sound of the formula in 
massive polytonal chords; the 
exotic polyphonic develop¬ 
ments, where the piano scintil¬ 
lates from a duck, layered 
texture; or the passages of 
“ Spiral ” and “ Adoration ", 
when, pulsating and heavily 
scored, Inori achieves a climax 
in its solemn tread of austere 
ecstasy.

Last year. That’ll Be the Day 
ended with the working-class, 
grammar school drop'-out Jim 
Maclaine quitting his wife and 
child to embark on a career as 
a pop singer. The^ picture ends 
in the early Sixties as he 
reaches out ia seize bis first 
electric guitar. Unfreezing him 
as it were from rhe earlier 
film's. last, tentative frame. 
Stardust follows Jim's fortunes 
for the next decade: his rise to 
national and international 
fame as lead,singer with.“The 
Stray Cats ”, the decision to go 
solo, the appearance on Time’s 
cover as “ Minstrel of a Gener¬ 
ation ”, transcending Fop with 
a Rock Opera, and finally 
retiring to a castle in Spain to 
live the life (and die the 
death) of a drug-befuddled 
recluse, a burnt-out case at 30. 
It is directed by Michael 
A pied (a television producer 
who made a promising feature 
51m debut two years ago with 
Triple Echo), the screenwriter 
is once more the former music 
columnist Ray Connolly, and 
together they have made wtiat 
is, within certain limits, a very 
good film, though the territory 
traversed is more familiar than 
that covered in its predecessor. 

Stardust, like That’ll Be the 
Day. has an acute ear and a 
knowing eye for a variety of 
subcultural milieux of a kind 
one takes for granted in 
American pictures about pool- 
room hustlers, boxers and 
truckdrivers, but rarely finds 
in British pictures. It is true 
that- the Stray Cats get rid of 
their lead guitar the way the 
Beatles divested themselves of 
Stu Sutcliffe; their prissy, 
much-mocked middle-class man¬ 
ager resembles Brian Epstein: 
and indeed virtually every - 
event can readily be document¬ 
ed from so-called “ real life 
Moreover,. Marty Wilde plays 
the British music publisher 
who sells a large slice of them 
to a slide American promoter; 
Keith Moon (of The WhoO is 
the group's drummer; Dave 
Edmunds is another group 
member; Adam Faith is first 
class as the Stray Cats’ road, 
manager. (the role so ably 
created by Ringo Starr in 
That'll Be the Day). Yet die 
feeling erf authenticity in the 
depiction of life on tour, the. 
-Denmark Street wheelings and 
dealings, tjhe media hype, and 
so on,.‘.derives from the way

Castle in Spain: Jim (David Essex) gets more and more 
oot of touch'with the world 


the film is made rather than 
from this casting, of familiar pop 
figures and the obvious paral¬ 
lels with well-known events: 

The - picture is shot- in 
numerous short,' laconic scenes 
with, .often just a throwaway 
line to tell us thar a 'couple of 
years have passed. (A glancing 
reference, for ■ Instance; to 
Chappaqiiiddick by. a . Las 
Vegas comedian indicates that 
we are now moving out. of the 
Sixties). But it always remains 
firmly otrtside Jim Maclaine. 
David ..Essex plays ' hfnr- once- 
again, as a coarse, lecherous. 


selfish, increasingly preten¬ 
tious yob, with a good deal of 
natural charm but little to 
make him sympathetic.' The 
result is that we cease quite 
early on to care, for him. This 
leads to the picture running 
first down hill and -then, right 
off the rails, with a melodra¬ 
matic concluding attempt to 
grab our attention. 

Afraid of being thought 
naive . or sentimental, Connolly 
and Apted opt for a relentless 
cynicism. This goes along with 
a rather odd (for Connolly at 
any rate) refusal to recognize 


that Maclaine might be a real ^r.:"

[ Nell Simoti-s place in thp 
| American theatre i$ hardly less 
improbable than that;of an in¬ 
corruptible Robespierre on the 
sraff of Mr * Nixon’s White 
House. He. is a brilliantly gifted 
comic . artist who writes 
honestly felt plays that happen 
to conform exactly to Broadway 
formula- . Of late, his work has 
not been seen much on British 
stages, which is one reason for 
welcoming The Ginger bread 
Lady, a piece that lights a few 
much-needed candles in the 
West End. 

If you were looking for a play 
summarizing the cliches of post¬ 
war American drama, you couid 
not pick one more comprehen¬ 
sive than this study of a tem¬ 
porarily cured drunk struggling 
to regain her Foothold in the 
world. It has everything : the 
second-act drunk scene: the 
spectacle of life’s little failures 
huddling together to keep each 
other warm; the American 
hunger for attention, and the 
obsession with stardom; the 
trick of suggesting thar only 
neurotic people are entertain¬ 
ing, while also beating the tom¬ 
tom for peaceful family life; 


not JO mention - the liqueur 
chocolate method of coating a 
stickily emotional centre with 
a shell! of wise-cracks. 

Never mind. As. soon as 
Elaine Stritch comes hobbling 
in on' those' eloquent black 
spindle legs and growling that 
she isn’t hungry because she 
had a chicken salad,last July, 
it is clear that there""are fresh 
juices pumpidg through the old 
pipes. 

Miss Stritch plays-a divorced 
ex-club singer who has drunk 
herself out of work' and has 
taken leave of'the 'sanatorium 
too skinny to get into her 
dresses and too nervous to try 
her luck ourside. -Like the 
gingerbread house she once 
gave ber daughter, Evy is all 
too likely to fall into crumbs. 

For the time being she has 
two protectors, who are them¬ 
selves on the point of crumb¬ 
ling : Jimmy, a middle-aged 
homosexual actor who is still 
waiting for a break, and Toby, 
a former beaury queen inces¬ 
santly touching up her doll- 
like features at the approach of 
her fortieth birthday. But real 
protection comes From Evy’s 17- 
year-oid,.who installs, herself in 
the apartment to make the most 
of the mother-daughter rela¬ 
tionship in what time remains 
of her childhood. 

It is typical of the author 
that Polly, the daughter, says 


... ..2 ,7 NH.I1! . , . 

nothing of this; she claims that mother; and Polly' assumes the,® * '' 
shg is moving in because the dominant role 'with the- nnr-.V^ 1 
clacking of her stepmother's pose of .shocking Evy baelc intd^ , v

Ac a time of financial crisis it 
.is suitable that the RSC investi¬ 
gate ways of mounting major 
plays in tin shacks. Keith Hack 
has substituted projections for 
the masque, but with a battery 
of 60 lanterns and an elaborate 
arrangement of platforms on 
barrels be, has not achieved 
utter simplicity. 

A grubby curtain, which 

would be a sail, surrounds the 
platform, and there are 
Dements when, the stage sug¬ 
gests a home improvised by 
Prospero who, in Michael 
Aldridge’s haunted perform¬ 
ance, has a touch of Crusoe or 
even Ben Gunn. 

More oFren rhe set suggests a 
Fellini circus tent, which suits 
the comedy of James Booth’s 
Stephano, who swaggers like the 
fox in Disney’s Pinocchio. under¬ 
scoring the bravado with ex¬ 
treme cruelty. However, except 
that its tawdriness matches their 
moral grubbiness, k makes a 
curious backing for the usurping 
aristocrats. 

The cenfre of the production 
is Mr Aldridge’s Prospero. His 
claim 14 so dear the people loved 
me ” sounds like an empty 
boast; indeed, one suspects 


from his nervy paranoia. as well 
as from the overt tyrannizing of 
Ariel and Caliban, that this 
Prospero was banished from 
Milan because he was a dictator 
—although it is dear from 
Jonathan Kent’s icy Alonso that 
he was replaced by something 
no more morally attractive. 

Within this Beckertian set¬ 
ting. the replacement of one 
tyrant by another who happens 
to have supernatural powers 
comes across as a statement of 
futility, futility aggravated by 
the fact that Michael Penning¬ 
ton’s cool, pedantic Ferdinand 
looks very much as though he is 
marrying' Prospero’s daughter 
for her position and not for 
love. 

Mr Booth is uncompromising 
in the humiliation of Caliban, 
who is no monster but the well 
proportioned Jeffery Kissoon, 
a slave simply because of his 
colour. Under Mr Kent's persua¬ 
sion, James Aubrey’s Sebastian 
makes something genuinely de¬ 
praved of the plot to kill 
Alonso; Robert Lloyd sings 
Ariel’s songs with oddly moving 
harshness; if her gurgling 
speech is genteel, Debbie 
Bowen’s animal crouches well 
suggest a girl brought up in 

the wilds. 

But the overall picture oF 
futility, in a production in 
which the scenes are harshly 
punctuated by lighting changes, 
does as much to obscure as it 
does to illumine the play.

Second Time Around 

BBC 1 


Alan Coren 


There is a moment in every 
science fiction movie when the 
hero, having just dispatched a 
couple of truck-eating spiders, 
perhaps, or seen off a detach- 
ment of inrergalactic dandelion 
people, leans back breathless 
against a studio rock, dashes 
the glycerine from his brow, 
and cries : “ It’s no. damn use 
Chuck / Lootenant / Professor / 
Darling, there’ll be more of 
them coming along any second - 
we’ll just have to find that 
formula and destroy them at 
source!” 

I feel that way about situa¬ 
tion comedy. As week follows 
week, gnd each new mutation 
honks its way out of the 
rmasmic swamp iq which these 
creatures breed or fructify. 
the re I am crouched over my 
typewriter and blasting. Some I 
win S (a 1 producer- screams, 
wounded, down my telephone) 
occasionally, and if enough- of 
my colleagues' bring enough 
combined firepower to bear, one 
falls and dies ; but next week 
there are 10 more springing up 
from its fading stain. Many, 1 
guess, have been so attacked by

immune to criticism itself.'

from this experience are two

mentary meditation on Ausch¬ 
witz, Night and Fog, and the 
equally haunting and resonant 

; Polish _ film. Passenger, that 
M Andrzej Munk left uncom¬ 
pleted at his death a dozen 
years, ago. Both came well 
before the latest resurgence of 
interest in the iconography of 
, Third Reich and the 

- -“delightful decadence ” of 
[•'.Nazi chic. And while there is 

much in Liliana Cavani’s The 
-Wight Porter that directly 
^recalls Passenger, her picture, 
"far from being the serious 
rework that advance reports indi¬ 
cated, is merely, the latest 
.hunk , of rancid jetsam to be

..former SS-officer working in a

surface action is wholly incred¬ 
ible, the fable it sustains 
(about guilt, collective and 
personal, perverted love, the 
strain oi tile victim and tor¬ 
turer in all of us, and so on) 
fatuous. The hollow dubbing 
of the Continental actors does 
not help, nor do the perfor¬ 
mances of Miss Rampling. and 
Mr Bogarde, who retain their 
own voices. Rampling does 
carry off rather well one awful 
flashback in which, half-naked 
and clad in SS gear, she sings 
a Blue Angel-type cabaret song 
(or a Cabaret -type Blue Angel 
song) in a German officers’ 
mess—for ■ which her lover 
awards her the boxed head of 
a camp warder. As for 
Bogarde, he is just six familiar 
characteristics in search of an 
auteur. 


Mikhalkov - Konchalovsky’s 
Uncle Vanya is inevitably most 
affecting, but he is no more 
successful at filming a full- 
length Chekhov play than any 
prtvious adapter. The acting, 
with Smoktunovsky as Vanya 
and Sergei Bondarchuk as Dr 
Astrov, is formidable, but even 
in a much-cut version the film 
moves with a ponderousness 
quite absent from the fine 
recent British productions at 
the National Theatre and the 
Royal Court. The decision to 
alternate (for no very apparent 
reason) between am attractive 
sepiatone and a fuzzy, often 
ill-lit colour was a mistake. 
Indicative of the change of em¬ 
phasis is the substitution of a 
handful oE snapshots of the 
neglected poor for the elab¬ 
orate ecological charts that 
Astrov shows Yeliena. We first 
see some of these photographs 
in a scene-setting montage evok¬ 
ing the privileged pleasures 
and general misery of pre-rey- 
oiutionary Russia, and at this 
point I could not help recall¬ 
ing Solzhenitsyn's comment in 
Gulag Archipelago that if the 
intellectuals in the plays of 
Chekhov who spent all their 
time guessing what would 
happen in 40 years* times had 
been told of some of the hor¬ 
rors of the Soviet torture 
chambers, “ not one of Chek¬ 
hov’s plays would have got 
written because all the heroes 
would have gone off to insane 
asylums ”. 

At the Columbia there is a 
revival of A Man for All Sea¬ 
sons. the thinking nun’s Sound 
of Music. I can’t imagine why: 
at least, not when one con¬ 
siders the tremendous back-tog 
of pictures from all over the 
world awaiting a screening in 
this country.

attempt at the Beethoven 


Op-301 Sonata, while at faster 
speeds he had several .memory 
lapses besides distorting the 
music with strange accents and 
pauses. An odd effect was 
created with Bach’s Partita 
No. 1, also—not by the work 
itself, which plodded along with 
fair competence, but by Mr 
Hall’s noisy dusting of the keys 
between movements. 

In welcome contrast Pauline 
Drain’s clarinet recital was most 
enjoyable. The Martinu Sonatina 
is an attractive piece and dis 
played her firm tone, consistent 
through the whole register, and 
lively rhythm. Poulenc’s Sonata 
is eqjally engaging, particularly 
the central Romanza, and this, 
also, was done with a real sense 
of style. Miss Drain should try 
to make less noise when she 
draws breath in, for this wan 
rather distracting throughout

Brahms’s Sonata Op 120 No 2. 

Suk Soon Kim, a sopraoo, pro¬ 
duced a strangely confined and 
unsteady sound in Handel’s

often under obvious strain dur¬ 
ing a large Brahms group. One 
or two items, such as “Es 
traumte mir ”, were not offen¬ 
sive, but there was no sign of 
the subtleties of expression, of 
tone, of phrasing, essential to 
this music. David del Trediri, 
who accompanied well, was also 
represented by his Four Songs 
on Texts by James. Joyce, which 
had some interesting moments.

The young working wife and financial provision 


W.-S. V W.-S. 

Before Mr Justice Rees 

On an application for financial 
provision under section 27 of the 
Matrimonial Causes Act, 1973, by 
a young childless wife, capable of 
earning her own living, after a 
short period of .co-habitation with 
the husband there was no general 
principle that the appropriate 
order was a no minal order. 

Mr Justice Rees so said when 
giving judgment in open court 
after hearing in chambers a wife’s 
application for periodical pay¬ 
ments and a lump sum. 

Mr M. P. Picard for the wife : 

Mr. Gavin. Merry lees for the 
husband.- 

HIS LORDSHIP said that The 
wife sought an order for periodi¬ 
cal payments and a lump sum on 
the ground that the husband bad 
wilfully neglected to provide 
i reasonable maintenance for her. 
Her application was made under 
. section 27 of the. Matrimonial 
Causes Act, 1973. ' ' 

The parties married on Feb¬ 
ruary 9, 1973, when the husband 
was 28 and the wife 29. The hus¬ 
band’s previous marriage had 
been dissolved. The parties had 
associated upon terms of intimacy 
for two years before the mar- 
riage. At the time of the 
marriage the wife was the tenant 
of a Oat in London which became 
the matrimonial home. 

She continue] in her employ¬ 
ment . as a manager, earning 
£2.500 ‘gross a year. The husband’s 
income from tils various business 
ventures was over £5.000 a year. 
The parties had a high standard 
of living. 

The husband contracted to pur¬ 
chase a house for £40,000 as a 
matrimonial home and paid £4,000 
deposit. Be also had expensive 
motor cars; in August, 1973, he 
bought a Ferrari on hire purchase 
with a deposit of £2,000. 

In May, 1973, the wife under¬ 
went a major operation. She went 
to convalesce with his parents in 
the country. 

By June 6 she had learned that 
the husband’s attitude towards her 
had changed and from that date 
co-habitation ceased. The wife 


was shocked and distressed at the 
break-np of the marriage in that 
manner and her convalescence was 
retarded. She naturally felt unable 
to •‘etnrrt to the matrimonial home 
or to her employment as that 
would have Involved meetings with 
her husband. It was reasonable 
for her to seek a new home and 
work outside London. 

The wife lived with her married 
sister from July, 1973, to Novem¬ 
ber. 1973. During that period the 
husband gave her £310. In Novem¬ 
ber, 1973. be agreed to maintain 
her at the rate of £10 a week, but 
made onlv one monthly payment. 
By then the wife was fit to return 
to work, but was unable to find 
work until July. 1974. 

In January, 1974, the husband 
In a telephone conversation refused 
to send any money to the wife, say¬ 
ing that she could starve. From 
February to June, 1974. the wife 
was receiving supplementary bene¬ 
fit. From July 1 sbe had been 
earning £22.17 net a week. 

Tn i*al terras the wife was signi¬ 
ficantly worse off than before the 
marriage and a good deal worse off 
than during the brief period of co- 
habita-inn. The husband’s finan¬ 
cial situation had deteriorated 
since the marriage breakdown. His 
company was insolvent, his bank 
overdrafts were over £12,800. He 
was now earning £3,onn a v«*ar with 
the use of a car. The hire pur¬ 
chase firm had repossessed his 
Ferrari and he had lost his £2,000 
deposit. He had also forfeited the 
deposit of £4.000 towards the 
house. He now maintained another 
woman in the country whom he 
intended to raarrv eventualiv. 

Counsel for the husband had 
argued that there was a well- 
established principle that in a case 
of a short-lived marriage between 
young people each of whom was 
capable, of earning a living no 
maintenance should be awarded to 
the wife even if she was deserted 
by the busband. Alternatively he 
argued that on their respective 
financial situations the proper 
order was a nominal order. 

Section 27(1) provided that the 
ground for an application for finan¬ 
cial provision was that " the hus¬ 


band . . . has wilfully neglected— 
(1) to provide reasonable mainten¬ 
ance for the applicant. . 

It ato clear that in deciding 
whether to make an order under 
section 27 it was not the duty of 
the court to have regard to the 
manors set out in section 25. 
Under section 27 a marriage was 
still subsisting while under section 
25 Jie court was considering the 
situation upon the termination of 
a marriage. 

The only guidance for the court 
provided by section 27 was rhat 
the applicant had first to satisfy 
thp court that the respondent h^d 
wilfully neglected to provide 
reasonable maintenance for her 
and. if sbe did so, then by section 
27(6) the court might make such 
an order “ as It thinks just 

In deciding what was just the 
court would take into account all 
the circumstances, including the 
standard of life provided during 
co-habitation and tbc length of co¬ 
habitation (see Bradley v Bradley 
} 1956) P 326) as well as rbc means 
and earning capacities of the 
parties. 

After considering Courtney v 
Courtney ([1968] P 523) and other 


recent authorities his Lordshlo had 
been unable to derive any ‘prin¬ 
ciple that in all cascc where there 
was a childless marriage of short 
duration between young people 
each nf whom was capable of earn¬ 
ing a living that the proper course 
was to make cither no order or a 
nominal order. It might v.d! be 
that in many, and perhaps in most 
cases, such a course would be 
appropriate. It was the duty of the 
court in considering an application 
under section 27 to decide whether 
the wife had c^ah'ishcd rh?r the 
husband bad wilfully neglected to 
provide reasonable maintenance 
and then, and only if so satisfied, 
to make such an order for finan¬ 
cial provision “ as i! thinks ius; 

Short duration of co-habitation 
was an important and even a 
crucial factor for consideration, 
whether broughr about hy the con¬ 
duct of the husband, or the wife 
or oF both. 

When a husband’s conduct felt 
within the H'ochrei category of 
being “ gross and n hr)pus •• rhen 
his conduct was relevant fpor Lord 
Justice Willmer tn Brett v Brctz 
[19691 1 WLR 487). It vrs nni an 
attractive argument on behalf of a 


husband who had destroyed the 
marriage so soon after the cere- 
monv bv hi* conduct to say he was 
not obliged to provide any main¬ 
tenance for ihc wife. 

In the present case the husband's 
conduct was not gross and obvious, 
but ss a result of the marriage 
breakdown and its sequel the wife 
was unable to work from June, 
1973. to Jills', 1974- His Lordship 
was satisfied that the husband had 
the means in provide, and should 
have Drovidcd, her with the agreed 
£19 a week from Sentcmber 1. 

1973. until July 1. 1974, a period 
of 43 weeks. The wife now had 
10 nay rent vberca* before she 
lived rent Trie in her London flat. 

The husband should pay the wife 
periodical payments ar the rate of 

£520 a ve nr less credits from 
Sentemlwr 1. 1973. to .Tune 7.0. 

1974. and at the rate of £2. r >0 a 
voar from Jujv 1, 1974. to October 
24, 1973. By October. 1975. the 
wife should have recovered from 
the effects of a disastrous marriage 
and the financial position could

Court of Appeal. 

The court allowed an appeal by 
the occupiers of a house in Elgin

order for possession made against 
t*i«m at Bloomsbury and Maryle-

jn -vr>ur the Greater London 
Council under the special pro¬ 
cedure provided by Order 26 of 
the County Court Rules. The 
council, it was held. had. on the 


facts, applied for possession two 
weeks too soon. 

HIS LORDSHIP, who «a« sitting 
with Lord Justice Calms and Lord 
Justice Brown?, said that tiic 
appellants went into occur.-’tion as 
licensees of the landlords, the 
Greater London Council, as pan of

It was submitted that the pro¬

mained as a trespasser after the 
determination nf a licence held by 


him. In Bristol Corporation v

The on-board computer in Apollo 8 helped to 
make the Moonwalk possible. 

To get to the Moon, the computer had to be 
small, light and reliable. 

Yet it had to have the same complexity of a 
computer that would have occupied two rooms 
ten years earlier. 

At Hoechst, we have a product that makes

To meet the demand for sophisticated small 
electronic devices, Hoechst have developed a 
polyester film that's just 2.5 microns thick. 

So thin in fact, that it would take 1,000 layers 
to be as thick as a 50 pence piece. 

Hostaphan film and industry 

Produced under rigid quality control, Hostaphan 
film is used in capacitors, transformers. 


motors, and as insulation for power and 
communication cables. 

The heavier grades are carefully designed to 
withstand high temperatures, solvents and 
mechanical stresses. 

In fact, it's very likely that there's some 
Hostaphan film in your home right now. 

Experts from many fields 
concentrate on one problem 

Products like Hostaphan are discovered as a 
■result of experts from many areas of science 
pooling their knowledge and experience: 
polymer chemists, physicists, chemical 
engineers, electronic engineers, plastics 
technologists. 

The unified approach that Hoechst uses to 
solve problems means that progress takes 
place quickly and that the spin-off from new 
ideas is thoroughly exploited.

League games before crucial inter¬ 
national matches In an effort to 
make sure tear England quality 
for tec 197S World Cup finals. The 
England team manager, speaking 
at a luncheon In London yester¬ 
day, said that he bad spent nearly 
six' hours in conference with the 
League secretary, Alan Hardaker, 
in Ws effort to obrain more co¬ 
operation from England’s top 
dubs. 

Mr Revie said: 14 1 asked him 
specifically if Saturday matches 
could be postponed so-that I could 
have my squad for a full week, 
before important Worid Cup quali¬

that it can be arranged. My sug¬ 
gestion was received sympatheti¬ 
cally but Mr Hardaker made some 
conditions which I am not going 
to go Into at the moment.” 


Mr Hardaker was not available 
for comment yesterday because he 
was fll with a throat Infection. 

Mr Revie made it clear that 
there was no hope of any extra

[ Butler has 
first 

winner of 
season 

Ken Buder. a jockey with a 
wealth of experience but wbo gets 
few oppnrtunines, rode his first 
winner of the season at Wolver¬ 
hampton yesterday afternoon. 
Indian Sol- with less than three 
weeks of the season remaining, was 
the mount of this 38-year-old rider. 
Loudon born Butler, whose first 
success was gained 20 years ago, 
but wbo has bad only one winner 
in each of the last two seasons, 
landed Indian Sol a neck winner 
of rhe Newmarket.Plate. 

In contrast to the scarcity of 
winners tn come Butler's way. 
Bruce Raymond has been piling nn 
the winners this week. He had 
doubles on the first three days and 
was again on the mark, with 
Grand Display in rite Latecomers' 
Malden Plate. This filly's success 
broke a lean spell for tbe trainer, 
Derek Weeden. whose Iasi winner 
was "Running Fire, at Nottingham, 
nearly four months ago. The 
owner, Guy Smith, said: '* I think 
my lasr winner was Grand Display's 
dam, French Parade, about six 
years ago.” 

Silk Cirv won the Final 
Fling Handicap. Silk City, trained 
at Chepstow by Melton Bradley for 
' the. neighbouring plant hire con¬ 
tractor David Mart, was bought 
after winning a selling race at Bath 
two months ago for 850 guineas. 
The bay provided Mr More with 
his 11th winner in about seven 
years and nine of those successes 
have been in selling races. He re¬ 
tained Silk City without a bid. 

Thomas O'Ryan, the apprentice, 
partnered Silk City, and another 
apprentice-ridden winner was Jim 
Coiner, who landed a gamble in the 
hands of Compton Rodrigues in rlie 
Oaken Lodge Nursery. Jim Coiner, 
who runs in the colours of the 
London stockbroker, James 
Sievrarr, was well backed from 9-2 
to 100-30. After malting much of 
the "running, he was headed two 
furlongs out by Noble Bay. but 
came again to win by a bead. 

The trainer, John Dunlop, is 
enjoying rhe best season of his 
career and broughr his score to 72 
In this country when saddling top 
weight Sedulous to win the Autumn 
Handicap. Sedulous—Dunlop's 

fifth winner this week—held off 
Trickster and Kraken to win for 
the American, William Reynolds, 
who is based in London and owned 
the 1970 Irish l.flOO Guineas win¬ 
ner, Black Satin. 

Punch Up will not run in the

Bundini Brown, the witch doctor 
at the court of King Ali 


From Neil Allen 
Boxing Correspondent 
Kinshasa. Oct 24 
Every Hog tts court and. 

depending upon the monarch, the 
courtiers wili sometimes tell much 
about the character of the ruler 
they serve. Around Muhammad 
All, a, he has run and sparred and 
sweated for so long for ncxr week'** 
match with George Foreman, are 
three vital men. puis a dozen or \o 
others who have brief, walk-on 
parls. They make a light, usuallv 
contented family as they watch old 
film-:, laze in ilie African sun and 
teach the Zalrois hoys had lan¬ 
guage under ihe pretence liut it is 
polite English couveisati-in. 

Luis Sarriu never »ay6 auvthing. 
so far as 1 have wiuie»std. He is 
rlie wrinkled, brown nta<*eur 
whose magic hands have ruhhed 
and k Headed and smoothed a 
hundred aches and pains from the 
body of the great gljdiaror. Sarria, 
who probably communicates 
clearly only with him-.elf in some 
private, sombre world, speaks 
solely with his fingers and knows 
Ali's' massive body better riian any 
man who ever fought him. It is 
Ironic that this week Sarria. tbe 
healer, should be suffering from a 
.serious Infection of the feel. 

The friend who knows the e-atic 
moods of Ali hot i* Drew “ Bun. 
dini ” Brown, assistant trainer, 
court jester, motivator and high 
priest of rhe “ Ali is the greatest '* 
movement. Bundini—he got the 
nickname from a Lebanese fjnuiv 
and does not know what ii mean- 
—is a tall, hyper-emnrional black 
man in his forties who can so often 
be heard in Ali's coruer, shouting 
pleading and praising. Chris Dun¬ 
dee brother to Angelo. Ali’s trainer 
and virtual manager, once said, 
long before rhe camp ever dreamed 
of cuntiiot to Africa, “ Put a head¬ 
dress and beads on Bundini and 
you'd have a witch doctor. And I 
don’t mean that in any negative 
sense. There’s good witch-doctors, 
you know.." 

If the history of boxing could 
find no other postscript for Bundini 
Brown it would still have to record 
that he thought up the slogan 
** Float like a butterfly, sting like a 
hee ’’ which has captured Ali’s tor¬ 
menting style. Bundini wears it on 
the back of one of the te*-shirrs he 
sells. I bought two from him the 
day in Las Vagas when, weeping, 
he was allowed to return to Ali's 
side after one of several periods of 
banishment. 

“ Bo-dini ", as Ali calls him, has 
been out of favour for several 
different reason*. He declined tn 
join the Black Muslim faith even 
though their -leader. Elijah 
Muhammad, was quoted as saying 
he would rather convert Bundini 
than 12,000 other men. He has a 
white wife a£d he has sometimes 
been an embarrassment to the Ali 
camp with his historionics in the 
corner—aotably the first, unfor¬ 
gettable march in 1S71 with Joe 
Frazier. When Ali went down in 
rhe 15th round from a tremendous 
left honk, Bundini excitedly threw 
water into the ring and was subse¬ 
quently suspended by the New 
York State Athletic Commission. 

Bundini is still incredulous 
about the suspension. “ f was try¬ 
ing to revive my soldier. My, you’d 
think I’d climbed into the ring to 
get Frazier with a baseball bat.’* 



■ Bundini ** Brown keeps a close eye on Aii during a training 
session. 


He is a gentle man when rhe fisrs 
are not flying, bur it i* impossible 
to forget that while serving In me 
United Srates navy he gm u dis¬ 
honourable discharge for attacking 
an allegedly racist officer with a 
meat cleaver. For this act of vio. 
leave he has an explanation. 

*• He was the fgnoratest (sic) 
man I ever utet. 1 was just a nigger 
to him. I’m a defender, not a 
fighter and I waited for him to 
make a big move. Finally, l wear 
fur tliL- clearer to cur his head off. 
The orficer made it to the deck and 
jumped overboard. Any man would 
jump overboard when he is facing 
d,\jLn. The worst part about the 
(J,-.charge was they wouldn’t let me 
keen the uniform.” 

When Ali starts preaching negri- 
tude hrere, Bundini Brown 
becomes ecstatic. As Ali sits on the 
ring apron, frustrating his French 
interpreter with his speed of 
speech, Bundini crouches just 
below, clutching at All's leg and 
moaning " Tb* 1 world will know, 
rhe whole world will learn ’*. while 
his eves fill with tears of love. 
Standing only inches away, it is 
impossible not to be moved a little 
by ihe devotion of the disciple, he 
explains: “ I feel sick before he 
fights, like a pregnant woman. I 
give the champ all my strength. He 
get hrit, it hurts me.” He is an 
exotic but his involvement Is com¬ 
plete. 

No one is color, more detached, 
of those closest to Ali, than Angelo 
Dundee, the dapper, smart-alec 


trainer from Miami who has hap¬ 
pily survived wh.it In.' has i-.illcd 
“ Life in a hot corner *'. Because 
Dundee is not hl.tc. h-- * t 
received ail the crcdn due to him 
for the times he ha - '.-IJ. 
victory, helped him with his 
44 poetry ” and dipii>mattv.ti:s « . 
suaded him to improve his boxing 
technique. 

Out at the N'sete training camp

Concluding an examination of the disastrous effects of inflation in Germany 50 years ago 


iV 

Jb 


National suffering was the price of a return to economic sanity 




the autumn of 1923 all hope, 
if any was still entertained, of 
inflating the German economy 
out of trouble bad gone. The 
Franco-Belgian invasion of the 
Ruhr in January robbed Ger¬ 
many of its principal generator 
of export earnings, and the 
policy of passive resistance (ill- 
supported by the German mine- 
owners) which involved supply¬ 
ing strike pay for nine months 
to 2,000,000 skilled workers and 
their families helped to reduce 
the nation’s gold reserves by 
half. An attempt, using those 
reserves, to keep the Mark 
stable collapsed in April, largely 
because of the self-interest of 
the industrialists; and from 
then on there was little chance 
of establishing a new currency 
based on gold. 

Financially things were at a 
desperate pass. Raging inflation 
made nonsense of a tax system 
which, since the Armistice, had 
anyway become a mockery in 
terms both of imposition and 
collection. In January, 1923, the 
Exchequer’s receipts in taxes 
and fees were a mere 30 per 
cent of payments. By June they 
had sunk to 10 per cent, and 
in September the 81,850,000 
million paper Marks received 
represented only 0.2 per cent 
of the outgoings. The printing 
presses made up the difference, 
authorized and unauthorized 
Kotgeld (emergency money 
tokens issued, in many cases 
without cover, by state dnd 
other concerns) helping to swell 
the flood. 

The Rej'chsbank could never 
catch up with ics own tail. At 
the outbreak of war, the deci¬ 
sion had been taken to permit 
the use of Treasury bills to back 
the note issue—and no extra 
taxation was imposed to pay for 
the war effort. “In as much as 
the country issued milliards in 
the form of extraordinary 
levies, war loans. Treasury bills, 
etc ”, wrote the director of the 
Bremen statistical office in 
1921, ** without withdrawing 

from circulation corresponding 
amounts in the shape of taxes, 
it created new paper income 
and wealth incessantly, while 
the real national wealth was 
steadily being diminished by 
the war ", 


Neither Dr ffavenstein, the 
Reidisbankprcsident, nor. his 
responsible advisers, associated 
the amount of money circulat¬ 
ing domestically with the fall¬ 
ing exchange rate abroad. The 
scene was therefore set for 
another form of monetary col¬ 
lapse whereby the unrestricted 
multiplication of money dimi¬ 
nished not just the currency 
unit but the aggregate value of 
the total circulation. This was 
equivalent to about £3D0m ster¬ 
ling before the war, with the 
Mark at 20 to the pound. Be 
tween 1919 and 1922 as the rate 
of exchange rose from 185 to 
34,00 Marks to the pound the 
value of the total circulation 
fell from £193ra to £34tn. In 
November, 1923, when the 
Mark was stabilized at 18 
million million to the pound, 
the total was worth only £10m. 

This phenomenon most 
seriously aggravated the 
nation's internal disturbances. 
The main cause of discontent 
had long been the rising cost 
of living and the failure of 
wages, however high they 
mounted nominally, to catch up. 
In October, 1923, the purchasing 
power of the average pay packet 
was less than a fifth of what it 
had been 10 years before. It 
is instructive, too, that the trade 
unions’ insistence always on 
higher wages rather than on 
policies to stabilize their pur¬ 
chasing power led in due course 
to the destruction of the union 
leaders’ influence: any wages 
they negotiated were hopelessly 
inadequate within a few weeks, 
and they were powerless to stop 
the bankruptcies and the large- 
scale unemployment developing 
from the middle of the year on¬ 
wards. 

As the summer ended, there 
were a million registered unem¬ 
ployed outside the Ruhr area 
lin reality, very much, more), 
and conditions were ripe for 
revolution. As the new Chan¬ 
cellor, Dr Gustav Stresemann, 
said of the communist menace 
at that juncture—communist 
risings had just been suppressed 
in Saxony and Thuringia— 
“they will never get such a 
chance again”. The point was 
that in the chaos of inflation 
all traditional ideas of order, 
property and legality had dis¬ 


appeared. In the event, although 
labour riots were by then break¬ 
ing out all over Germany, the 
August general strike collapsed, 
and it was Hitler who took the 
chance three months later with 
the putsch that failed in 
Munich. , 

If the primal? cause of 
Germany’s hyperinflation was 
the persistent demands of.the 
Reparations Commission driven 
on by a vengeful or nervous 
France, the secondary causes 
deserve equal emphasis. First, 
there was the six-year-long 
succession of confidence- 
destroying post-war crises which 
no currency could have, 
weathered unscathed: the 1918 
revolution, the Kapp putsch of 
1920, the French occupation of 
the Rhine ports in 1921, the loss 
of the factories in Upper Silesia, 
the Treaty of Rapallo, the assas¬ 
sinations of Erzbergar and 
Rathenau—and then the disas¬ 
ters of 1923. That short list is to 
ignore the string of strikes 
riots, subversions and political 
murders which punctuated the 
period. 

Secondly there was the gov¬ 
ernment’s own economic policy, 
backed by the biggest indus¬ 
trialists and most of the bankers, 
which made a dangerous situa¬ 
tion insupportable. Generous 
subsidies of coal, food and rail¬ 
way transport gave German in¬ 
dustry an absurdly competitive 
edge over its foreign competi¬ 
tors. Again, the easy credits 
arranged for industry made it 
possible for all kinds of con¬ 
cerns to equip themselves on the 
cheap, and even to build up 
empires at the government’s ex¬ 
pense. In 1923 Bank rate, which 
would have been at around 200 
per cent had it been allowed to 
follow the market, remained at 
18. The ever-rising exchange 
rate ensured that any exporter’s 
debt, however stupendous, could 
be paid off in postage stamps in 
due time. No wonder there 
were profiteers, and no wonder 
the industrialists supported this 
method of rebuilding the nation. 

Those without incomes in real 
money—gold or foreign curren¬ 
cies—or without wages or 
salaries linked, however tenu¬ 
ously, to the cost of living, 
could not compete at all. The 
left-wing historian Arthur 


Roseoburg described the. Ger¬ 
man inflation as one of the . 
biggest robberies known to 
history—it has been reckoned 
that the process of' stabilization 
eventually wrote “ off about 
610,000m, a combination of. 
national debt, savings bank 
deposits, mortgages and private 
debts. Stresemann declared in 
1927 that the intellectual and - 
productive middle class, the 
traditional backbone of the 
country, having sacrificed itself 
to the State during the war had 
thereafter been deprived of all 
its property and been “pro- 
letartaoized ”. 

The impoverishment of 
university students and teachers, 
the dearth of books and paper, 
the shrinkage of research 
facilities and scholarship were 
all notable tragedies of these 
years. Whereas inflation event'¬ 
ll ally strengthened the position 
of various groups—for example, . 
the managerial and technical 
Elites—and did not permanently- 
hurt industrial labour, k devas¬ 
tated those whose status 
remained when the income 
necessary to its maintenance 
disappeared: from the profes¬ 


sional men,- the officials and 
the academics to the artisans, 
the shopkeepers and the clerks. 
The unfairly selective nature of 
inflation which attacks the 
thrifty, the creditor, the bond 
holder, the pensioner and the 
industrially weak,, and favours 
tire propertied, the speculator, 
the debtor and the industrially 
strong, dealt the German bour- 
geoise a hard, embittering blow. 

Rosen burg was more con¬ 
cerned'with working class losses 
and -the fearful distress of the 
masses who, because of the fail 
in purchasing power of tbeir 
wages, had to put in six weeks’ 
work simply to buy a pair of 
boots. In January 1923 the chief 
burgomaster of Berlin, report¬ 
ing on the year 1922. recorded 
that the children of. the-capital 
tended to be undersized,-under¬ 
weight, underclothed, underfed 
and unhealthy: “want is 
gradually strangling every feel¬ 
ing for nearness, cleanliness and 
decency, leaving room only for 
thoughts pf the fight with hun¬ 
ger and cold”. 

Want of democracy ? Strese- 
maun, in whose brief Chancel¬ 
lorship the vital Schaeht-Luther 


monetary reforms were to take 
place, took over in August 1923. 
Before stabilization could be 
achieved it was essential both 
to achieve a moratorium on 
reparations and -an end to pas¬ 
sive resistance in^ the Ruhr, 
itself a matter inviting domestic 
violence. Although by Novem¬ 
ber Stresemann was passion¬ 
ately rejecting demands for 
dictatorship as well as repudiat¬ 
ing the notion that one already 
existed, in effect that was what 
had finally come about with the 
Enabling Act of October. He 
had the Reicbswehr under 
General von Seeckc to help him, 
at any rate outside Bavaria 
where von Kahr had assumed 
the title of State Commissioner 
General. The British Ambassa¬ 
dor summed it up thus: “ A 
constitutional government, ani¬ 
mated by the conviction that it 
was expedient to fulfil Ger¬ 
many's obligations within rea¬ 
sonable limits, has been re¬ 
placed by two dictators, one- at 
Berlin and one at Munich...

Reich’s constitution had already

rency Commissioner the right 
to seize all foreign currency 
wherever found, .one of the 
year’s innumerable measures to 
stop speculation in it. Now 
houses and cafes were searched- 
le tiers opened, bill-brokers’ 
transactions scrutinized, and 
export bills of exchange 
centralized in the Com¬ 
missioner's hands: the yield 
was £5m, or about half 
the exchange value of the paper 
circulation. By the time Strese- 
marm’s government fell a few 
weeks later Lord D’Abernon 
was writing of “ the underlying 
reality of a military dictator¬ 
ship”—with von Seeckt as the 
principal controlling authority. 

By then, fortunately for 
democracy, the Mark having 
collapsed entirely, stabilization 
at one million -millionth of its 
pre-war value had become pos¬ 
sible. Dr Luther’s new Ren ten- 
mark, independent of 
government interference and 
guaranteed by mortgages on pro¬ 
perty and bonds on industry, 
instantly won the nation's 
confidence. The moratorium on 
reparations was arranged. And. 
the results were remarkable. 
The entry in Lord D’Ahernon’s 
diary for Christmas Day, 1923, 
runs: “Food has become abun¬ 
dant in the great towns; potatoes 
and cereals are brought to mar¬ 
ket in large quantities; while 
butter, which was obtainable 
only in the better quarters, is 
now offered at stable if at high 
prices. Animals crowd the 
abattoirs and queues have dis¬ 
appeared. . . . The economic 
detente has brought in its 
train political pacification— 
dictatorships and putsches are 
no longer discussed,- and even 
the extreme parties have ceased, 
for the moment, from troubl¬ 
ing”. 

The emergency over, recovery 
had begun. Beer consumption, 
which fell to two-tturds of nor¬ 
mal in 1923, returned to what 
it had been. In 1923 the only 
increase in-animals slaughtered 
for food had occurred in dogs, 
and now the consumption of 
dog-meat alone dropped. A cer¬ 
tain amount of restitution was 
arranged for some of the vic¬ 
tims of inflation, and due 


punishment for some who had 
unfairly profited. The savings 
habit, oddly enough, returned 
at once to a people who had 
grown used to the sprint from 
pay-desk-to shop counter bur¬ 
dened with suitcases of notes. 

Yet, although economic and 
financial sanity had returned, 
all was not well. In January 
1924 there were over 1,500,000 
registered unemployed, a num¬ 
ber cut in half by April as 
activity revived. However, a new 
. rise in imports led to a weaken¬ 
ing currency, credit restriction, 
bankruptcies (especially among 
the many thousands of firms 
which had mushroomed in the 
past two years), higher interest 
rates, and so to depression and 
unemployment again. The Mark 
grew stronger and stronger. 
American money flooded into 
Germany after the adoption of 
the Dawes plan, and created the 
“ rationalization ” and over- 
expansion which met its 
desserts when the slump came. / 

In the meantime the crash of 
the Stinnes empire, which infla- ; 
don had so nourished, led to _ 
prolonged depression and 
unemployment — averaging 
2,000,000 in 1926, 1,350,000 in 
1927 and 1928, and 1,900,000 in 
1929. These were the registered 
unemployed: the real figures 
were very much greater, and 
would have been greater .stall 
had not the six-month British 
coal strike in 1926 put the Ger¬ 
man mining industry back on its 
feet. 

It was too glib a new that 
without the financial catastrophe 
of November 1923 stabilizator 
would never have come in time . 
that the Treaty of Locarnc 
would never have been signed 
that Germany might never havf 
joined the League of Nations ■ 
and that her recovery woulc- 
have been indefinitely post¬ 
poned. That was the opinion ii 
the late 1920s. What there cai 
still be little question about i-, 
that the postponement of stabili 
zathm, wherever the fault U> 
led to correspondingly greate- - 
national suffering and sacrific 
when the inflation was ended.

EEC referendum: A danger of legislation 

by popular ballot 


If the Labour Party manifesto 
is tn be taken at face value, 
the people of Britain will be 
voting once again before the' 
next 12 months arc out. The 
ballot will be a referendum on 
the Common Market, since 
neither governors ‘ nor gov¬ 
erned would relish yet another 
general campaign. 

The referendum is a familiar 
institution fom California to 
the People’s Republics of East¬ 
ern Europe. In Britain, it 
would be novel, introducing 
trie doctrine of direct demo¬ 
cracy. in which the electorate 
as a whole decides an issue. 


rather than its representatives 
in Parliament or the Cabinet. 


A decision about bolding a 
referendum will have :o be 
taken by late spring, if the 
machinery is to be set in train 
for a vote by next October, the 
explicit deadline of Labour’s 
manifesto. Since the current 
round of British renegotiations 
are only part of a never-endin': 
cycle of negotiations within 
the Community. the Foreign 
Secretary has considerable 
leeway in deciding when a 
decision is required by the 
government and the country 
ab-.:u: Britain's rlnce in 

Europe. 

If a referendum is held, the 
wording of the question 
offered rhe clectnrs will be 
one of the crucial decisions 
facing the Government. The 
phrasing must he simple 
c~v.-j-.h to be understood by 
the ordinary elector. A ballot 
‘ paper n;i::ht simply ask: Do 
van approve of British mem¬ 
bership in the European 
Community on the terms now 
nepn;Kited ? 

There would be little point 
fn adding conditional clauses 
tn the questions, fnr in inter¬ 


national negotiations no one 
nation can stipulate all the 
conditions that must be met. 
Moreover, it would remain the 
prerogative of the government 
of the day to decide whether 
conditions were met. 

Given differences of opinion 
about the Common Market 
within the Cabinet, there 
would be conflict there if the 
question included a statement 
that the terms were approved 
by the British Government. 

The policy of the Cabinet 
toward the referendum ques¬ 
tion is the second crucial issue. 
To recommend voting in 
Favour of continued member¬ 
ship would be to align Labour, 
Conservative and Liberal lea¬ 
dership in favour of EEC 
membership. In the wards of 
one pro-Marketeer, “ It would 
be the Establishment v the 
know nothing backlash It 
would most probably result in 
a favourable vote for Common 
Market membership, as in the 
Irish referendum, where major 
parries supported the Market. 

If the Government was 
against remaining in the 
Common Market, it would not 
require a referendum to with¬ 
draw Britain from the 
Common Market—as long as it 
retained a majority in Parlia¬ 
ment for such a course. 
Moreover, the complexities of 
negotiating withdrawal could 
unr be stated or resolved by a 
simple referendum ballot. 

A Cabinet derision to avoid 
a collective commitment on the 
referendum question _ would 
postpone, but not eliminate, 
the risks of a public split in 
the Labour ranks. 

A referendum would require 
authorization by an Act of Par¬ 
liament. A few Labour MPs 
have been heard to say that 
they would refuse on principle 


to undermine the sovereignty 
of Parliament by voting for a 
referendum. Ir is unikely that 
the Government would be 
defeated on this issue, for 
Nationalists and Ulster Loya¬ 
lists are likely to favour the 
principle of a referendum for 
other reasons. 

Mechanically, a referendum 
would be straightforward to 
administer. A referendum was 
even held in the turbulent con¬ 
ditions of Ulster last year. The 
same electoral register and 
polling stations could be used 
as in a general election. Voters 
would be offered a choice of 
voting Yes or No. The only 
point to make politicians pause 
for thought is whether the 
results would be reported by 
parliamentary constituencies, 
or by local" authority bound¬ 
aries reflecting the jurisdiction 
of the returning officers. 

If results were reported by 
constituency, MPs might feel 
that they would be subject to 
undue influence, as constitu¬ 
ents would know whether or 
not the MP was roicing the 
views of his electorate. To 
oggregate the rotes by local 
authority areas would reduce 
possible tension. It would still 
make it possible to show a 
majority going one way in 
England, and in the opposite 
direction in Scotland, Wales or 
Northern Ireland. It would be 
virtually impossible ro prevent 
the report of vote totals for 
different parts of Britain.. This 
can only be prevented if ail 
ballot papers are brought to a 
single place, and ballots mixed 
before being counted. 

Politically, a referendum 
campaign would present Few 
problems to the Conservative 
and Liberal parties, for the 
party machine and MPs could 


campaign together for a vote 
in favour of Common Market 
membership. Pro and Anti- 
Market pressure groups would 
provide information and activi¬ 
ties for the London-based 
media, although little gra£^ 
roots canvassing. 

Labour politicians can not 
avoid participating in a 
referendum campaign. Their 
problem is that the' party is 
split about what position they 
should take, and there are in¬ 
dications that some leading 
figures would resign Cabinet 


posts to campaign against a 
collective decision. 


A second danger is that a 
Cabinet recommendation to 
remain in the Market could be 
rejected by a special Labour 
Party conference, convened to 
decide Transport House policy. 
This would neutralize the 
party organization and lead 
major trade unions to cam¬ 
paign in opposition to minis¬ 
ters who seek _ their collabora¬ 
tion on other issues. 

If neither the Cabinet nor 
the party conference took a 
clearcut stand, then everyone 
would be licensed to say what 
he thought. This temporary 
expedient would leave bitter 
scars in the Labour movement, 
as well as calling into question 
the doctrine of collective 
Cabinet responsibility. 

If the referendum endorses 
the Government’s recommend¬ 
ation and the wishes of a 
majority of MPs, everyone will 
relax. The vote would be a 
final validation of existing Bri¬ 
tish commitments. 

If the referendum rejeers 
membership, this of itself will 
not be a "binding” decision, 
whatever r he Labour manifesto 
says. Committed pro-Marke- 


teers might argue that the tur¬ 
nout reflected the views of too 
Few electors, or that the vote 
against membership did not 
represent a majority of eligible 
electors. The closer the result; 
the harder it will be for any 
‘-MP to regard the expressed 
wishes of'50.1 per cent of the 
vote as binding upon everyone. 

A vote rejecting membership 
on the terms negotiated would 
leave the government of the 
day two options. It could inter¬ 
pret this as an instruction to 
commence new negotiations, if 
other members of the Com¬ 
munity would suffer patiently 
through them. If it instructed 
the Foreign Secretary to com¬ 
mence negotiations for with¬ 
drawal from the Community, it 
would be embarking upon a 
difficult and time-consuming 
task. It is conceivable that 
such negotiations might lead 
the government to conclude 
ihar the risks of exit were 
even greater than the dis¬ 
advantages of remaining in. 

In effect, only a Yes vote 
could be' effectively binding, 
because it would require no 
further government action. 

Even a successful referen¬ 
dum campaign would be awk¬ 
ward for MPs, because it 
would constitute a precedent 
for more of the same. Would 
Mr Wilson like a referendum 
on nationalization? Would Mr 
Jenkins welcome one on the 
reintroduction of capital 
punishment ? Would Conserva¬ 
tives welcome a referendum on 
a wealth tax ? Scottish Nationa¬ 
lists would undoubtedly wel¬ 
come a Scottish referendum— 
provided thar the Nationalists 
could determine the wording 
of the question.

Revival of a ‘curb on freedom’ 
starts new fight to kill it 


'FLAMI IN 




:i : I 


■ i .'ll 


When first introduced by the 
National Government in 1934, 
the Incitement to Disaffection 
Bill drew, from the most 
eminent jurist of the day, Six 
William Holds worth, the com¬ 
ment that it was “the most 
daring encroachment upon the 
liberty of the subject which 
the executive government has 
yet attempted at a time which is 
not a time of emergency 
The Bill provoked a wave of 
protests, marches and demon¬ 
strations, with the newly 
founded National Council for 
Civil Liberties in the vanguard. 
The leading intellectuals of the 
period, including E. M. Fors¬ 
ter, H. G. Wells and J- B. 
Priestley played active roles in 
opposing tiie Bill. 

Among the more dramatic 
forms or protest was tbe stag¬ 
ing of a mock trial, in which 
cartoonist David Low played a 
person accused of seducing the 
loyalty of a young soldier, por¬ 
trayed by Kingsley Martin. Tbe 
bit-plavers included Miles Mal- 
leson. The opposition to the 
Bill had some effect, and the 
Incitement to Disaffection Act, 
as eventually passed, was a 
considerably toned down ver¬ 
sion of the original proposals. 

Now, almost as a celebration 
of its fortieth birthday, tbe 
National Council for Civil 
Liberties is turning full circle 
and mounting another cam¬ 
paign for the abolition of the 
Act, fallowing the apparent 
revival in its use, linked to the - 
presence of British troops in 
Ulster. 

Section 1 of the Act makes 
it an offence “maliciously and 
advisedly ” to endeavour “ to 
seduce any member of Her 
Majesty’s forces from his duty 
or allegiance to Her Majesty.” 


The following section makes 
it unlawful for anyone “with 
intent to commit or to aid, 
abet, counsel, or procure the 
commission of - an offence 
under section 1” to have.“in 
his possession or under his 
control any document of such 
a nature that the dissemination 
of copies thereof ■ among 
members of . Her Majesty’s 
forces 1 would constitute such 
an offence". 

In 1972 there were two pro¬ 
secutions under the Act. Both 
concerned possession of docu¬ 
ments which, although not in 
fact distributed to any soldiers, 
were alleged to be potentially 
capable of seducing them from 
duty or allegiance. 

Although charged with ' the 
identical offences based on 
the identical documents (in 
different courts, however) 
one of the men was 
acquitted, whilst the other, 
Michael Tobin, was convicted 
and sentenced to the ma xim u m 
two years imprisonment allowed 
by the Act He has now served 
his sentence, but the case has 
been taken to the European 
Commission of Human Rights. 

In May this year the veteran 
campaigner for -peace. Miss Pat 
Arrow sand th, was convicted 
under the Act for distributing 
a leaflet giving information 
about what steps British sol¬ 
diers opposed to British policy 
in Ulster could take to leave 
the Army, and where they 
could go if they deserted. She

Eleven adult human beings, 
dressed up as rabbits, hopped 
about at the mourh of Dow¬ 
ning Street, yesterday morning 
tn draw Harold Wilson’s atten¬ 
tion ro problems of overpopul¬ 
ation. Their idea was to sug- 
Rcst that we are breeding like 
rabbits and as they hopped. 
Miss Linda Starke, the coor 
dinator of the Population 
Action Grpup. and Ron Dick, 
director of Populatios Count 
Down, delivered a letter to No 
10 . 

They were not dressed as 
rabbits because people imper¬ 
sonating animals are not 
allowed in Downing Street. 
The letter was handed to a 
private secretary, who prom¬ 
ised to pass it on. 

The press photographers, 
meanwhile, were ordering the 
rabbits—-four men and seven 
women—to bounce first in 
groups and then in single file, 
paws held pantomime fashion. 
One rabbit scamped an 
outraged foot. 41 1 do not want 

to have to prance around like 
this for an hour and a half”, 
she said. She was distressed 
chat :i took a gimmick tn 
attract the attention of the 
press. 

Later some of the rabbits, by 
this time in mufti, held a press 
conference at the headquarters 
of the Family Planning Associ¬ 
ation. 

Dick (who has three 
children) said he disapproved 
of Sir Keith Joseph's Birming¬ 
ham speech. “ I believe that if 
you make scapegoats, it 
diminishes the family planning 
message—which is for every¬ 
one "—even if you have to 
make rabbits of people to get 
it across.

David Oistrakh, the highly 
honoured Soviet violinist who 
died in Amsterdam yesterday, 
once i an a considerable risk io 
show a kindness to a fellow 
musician. In the 1960s he heard 
that Andrzej Panufnik, the 
Polish composer who had de¬ 
fected from his native land and 
sought political asylum in 
Britain in 1954, was anxious to 
have one of the violins made by 
his father, Tomasz. 

Some of the violins had been 
presented as prizes in violin 
competitions in Warsaw before 
the war, and rhe young Oistrakh 
had won one in the early 1930s. 

Though Panufnik was still 
persona non grata in eastern 
Europe, Oistrakh promptly sent 
his violin ro the composer’s 


Charlie Chaplin is back in 
town to help to launch My 
Life in Pictures, which is what 
its name Suggests, with tape- 
recorded reminiscences by 
Chaplin, commentary by 
Francis Wyndham, design by 
David King and published by 
Bodley Head yesterday. The 85- 
year-old philosopher-clown 
looks sleek and perky, perched 
on a seat in tbe cinema of the 
May Fair Hotel, pecking at 
canapes like a peckish parrot. 

Conversation is disjointed, 
with little connexion between 
reverent questions by the, disci¬ 
ples and responses by the mas¬ 
ter. But Charlie retains that 
fastidious politeness with 
which he has always treated 
the harsh vicissitudes of real 
life or the imitative screen. It 
used to make him take off his 
hat in jerky- acknowledgment

seat of his baggy pants. 

Today he murmurs in that 
still melodious voice: “The 
Times ; how very nice to meet 
you; very nice; meet Mrs 
Chaplin.” At his side Oana 
beams through her hoops of 


spectacles. Admirers jostle 
with drinks. An official artist 
sketches the smooth white hair 
and big black glasses. 

To celebrate rwo Chaplin 
films were shown. The Circus 
and Simnyside, tbe latter made 
in 1919 and never screened 
before in Britain. Chaplin 
asserts that it is not one of 
his favourites. But the 
audience falls about at fantasy 
worthy of Monty Python.’Char¬ 
lie on screen is hit on head 
and stunned. A chorus of pas¬ 
toral girls in white appears 
and dances round his spinning 
head. The unconscious man 
rises and dances with them. 
Cut to Charlie in the flesh, 
chuckling happily. 


Tribute 


Rentokil, the pest control peo¬ 
ple, are staging, an art exhibi¬ 
tion in tribute to Sir Winston 
Churchill next month. All the 
pictures are by Rentokil 
employees and their husbands 
or wives. “ We tend to forget ”, 
say the firm's public relations 
advisers, by way of reproof to 
people who might find this 
idea funny, “ thar men and 
women whose business it is to 
deal with the tasks of pest con¬ 
trol,. woodworm and dry rot 
eradication, damp proofing, or 
toilet and washroom hygiene, 
are very mnch beings, with the 
human need for self-expression 
and creativity”. 

Nor are Rentokil without 
Church! Ilian connexions of 
their own, if one delves deeply 
enough.

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 


17 



New Printing House Square, London, WC1X SEZ. Telephone; 01-8371234 


A ROCK AND NOT A ROCKET 


Obviously the Conservative Party 
is bound to take a decision about 
The leadership; they may well 
reach a permanent decision of 
some kind inside the next few 
months. Prolonged uncertainty 
would have obvious disadvan¬ 
tages, yet rhe leadership is only 
one part of the reconsideration 
which the Conservatives have to 
-do. They must, in a way that has 
not been necessary since 1945, 
look at their whole position, at 
their philosophy of government, 
at the bases of their support, at 
their policy and their organiza¬ 
tion. 

Sir Keith Joseph has already 
taken the lead in this process, 
although he is not in our view 
Ekelv to become the next leader 
of the Conservative Party. His 
Tecent major speeches have been 
of great value as the speeches of 
a senior member of the Conser¬ 
vative Party. They would not 
have been acceptable as the 
speeches of a party leader, both 
r because they represent one point 
of view among many inside the 
party,, and because they repre¬ 
sent an intellectual jump which 
a leader could not expect his 
■ whole party to take. The role of 
the idealogue and the role of the 
leader are different; Sir Keith is 
an extremely important Conser¬ 
vative idealogue, but it is for him 
Jto advocate ideas rather than to 
-decide which ideas can gain the 
united support of his party. 

The. 1960s were a decade of 
rapid change in beliefs. The 
1970s in Britain at least are turn¬ 
ing into a decade of anxiety, with 
a growing fear that the nation is 
being uprooted. This will surely 
require the Conservative Party to 
accept a conservative role. In a 
ieriod when people are becoming 
[esperate for stability, a radical 


Conservative Party must be a 
failure. In times of trouble the 
Conservative Party is regarded to 
be a rock and not a rocket. 

In the last election the Con¬ 
servatives received only a little 
more than a third of the vote. No 
official _ Conservatives were 
elected in Northern Ireland, few 
in Wales and not many in Scot¬ 
land. In addition, the Conserva¬ 
tives were almost eliminated in 
the big provincial cities of 
England, in Birmingham, Man¬ 
chester, Liverpool, Bristol, Shef¬ 
field, or Newcastle. In each of 
these great cities rbey could only 
win one or two seats, a position 
worse even than that of 1945. 

In modern times the Conserva¬ 
tive Party has not been so 
completely reduced to being a 
party of the English suburbs and 
countryside. Of course, these are 
natural areas of Conservative 
strength, and recent shifts of 
population have tended to 
emphasize that. But to be the 
party of only one aspect of one 
of the four nations of the 
United Kingdom is humiliatingly 
inadequate. If the philosophy, 
policy and leadership of the Con¬ 
servative Party cannot appeal to 
the ordinary urban communities 
of Britain, the party must be 
moving towards the danger of 
permanent minority. 

The most important question of 
policy is economic; here again 
Sir Keith Joseph deserves credit 
for having posed the real ques¬ 
tion. Is the Conservative Party to 
become rhe party of sound money 
with all the consequences that 
follow from that ? Or is it to 
remain wedded to following con¬ 
flicting economic objectives 
simultaneously ? If inflation 
continues to accelerate even 
beyond its present rate the 


demand for a party of sound 
money will become very strong. 
Mr Heath is not to be blamed for 
having lost the last two elections 
on the issue of inflation. His aim 
wa^ honourable, but public 
opinion is not yet prepared for 
the sacrifices that would be 
involved in any'realistic policy of 
restraining inflation. 

The Conservatives also have a 
problem of organization. Their 
Central Office was better admin¬ 
istered in the second 1974 elec¬ 
tion than in the first, but it will 
no doubt have to be reconstruc¬ 
ted further. There is a shortage 
of money, and there is a shortage 
of personal enthusiasm in many, 
constituencies. The enthusiasm' 
of a political party depends on 
its beliefs; the Conservative 
Party, as can be seen from the 
erosion of the support of the 
electorate, has been losing faith 
in its own beliefs. 

This does not mean that the 
Conservative Party will or should 
turn to the right, if by the right 
one means opposition to working 
inside Europe or support for the 
moribund regime in Rhodesia. 
The support of the large cities 
will only be won by policies 
which are socially just. Yet the 
Conservative Party certainly does 
need a sense of history, a sense 
of its own particular role in the 
political life of the nation. It 
needs to know what the Conserva¬ 
tive answer is to the great 
challenee which inflation pre¬ 
sents. The mere offer of business¬ 
like administration, which is the 
principal appeal of some of the 
younger members of the shadow 
front bench, falls pathetically 
short of the historic ideal which 
the Conservative Party exists to 
represent. 


SCOTLAND IN THE GRIP OF STRIKES 


■■Hie plight of Scotland is a 
reminder, if one is needed, of how 
many groups of workers have it 
in their power to cause extreme 
inconvenience to the public and 
disruption to industry in pursuit 
of a claim. The people of Glasgow 
lire suffering from the effects of 
strikes by bus and underground 
Stivers, dustmen and sewage 
workers all at once. In Scotland 
a whole there are more than 
simultaneous strikes, most of 
hem unofficiaL The most serious 
b terms of its effects on the 
fconomy is the road haulage 
trike which has almost paralysed 
|b movement of goods through- 
flt the country. 

•rThe Liberals, the Scottish 
Nationalists and even the Con- 
svatives have not been slow to 
lege that the relative quiescence 
t the Government in face of all 
lis shows how little concern it 
is far the interests of Scotland, 
-the lorries had stopped in the 
Mne counties, they imply, there 
ould have been a tremendous 
Inisterial flap. That may yet be 
uved, but there are other 
asons for the perceptible 
hdency of the Government to 
ep aloof from individual 
?putes both before the election 
hen there were immediate poli- 
al ends to be gained by 
irmuring that every upset was 
fling) and afterwards. 

In his earlier ministries, Mr 
Ison was often criticized for 
. propensity to bustle on to the 
sue whenever a serious strike 


was in view and hammer out a 
solution over midnight coffee 
and sandwiches in circumstances 
that enabled him to appear as the 
hero of the hour. A Government 
can always be blamed either for 
too much or too little. But there 
is a more significant issue here. 
One of the grievances that the 
incomes policies of successive 
Governments Instilled into the 
unions was a suspicion that any 
minister, or anyone under the 
authority of a minister, would 
have an anti-inflationary brief 
more or less In evidence. when 
acting as a conciliator. As a 
result, one of the first peace- 
offerings that the Government 
made after February was to adopt 
the idea of an independent Con¬ 
ciliation and Arbitration Service, 
exercising the functions in. that 
line that had previously been 
carried out by the Department of 
Employment, as well as some 
more academic activities which 
had been the business of the now- 
defunct Commission for Indus¬ 
trial Relations. 

Hence the silence, hence Mr 
Wilson’s care in his letter to Mr 
Edward Taylor to confine himself 
to a promise to protect food sup¬ 
plies and health. The conciliators 
are being left to conciliate. They 
have been in rhe thick of it in 
Scotland, but the whole concept 
of the CAS is that it should be 
serviceable and discreet. One of 
the reasons why they have not 
got very far is that the regional 
and local machinery of the new 


service is still imperfect. It is 
still to some extent hampered by 
the lack of a statutory basis. In 
the haulage dispute there is also 
the difficulty that the official 
union negotiators have clearly 
lost touch with their men, who 
are strongly influenced by an un¬ 
official (and anonymous) strike 
committee. In such a situation, it 
may be hard to establish who to 
conciliate, let alone how. 

Mr Jack Jones was in Scotland 
last week campaigning for the 
social contract. He added a 
strong endorsement of the CAS. 
It is still not clear what has 
caused the outbreak of so many 
unofficial strikes in Scotland 
(members of Mr Jones’s union 
are particularly involved), but 
there is an obvious risk that any 
arrangement for restraint be¬ 
tween unions and a Government 
may tend to separate leaderships 
from the rank and file. It is a 
tendency that may be expected to 
recur. One member of the TGWU 
speculated that the haulage 
strikers might attach so much 
importance to getting their full 
award now rather than in Janu¬ 
ary (as has been conceded) 
because they were afraid there 
might be a freeze. Scepticism 
towards all the Government’s 
promises on this score is not un¬ 
natural. But if trust is under¬ 
mined between the Government, 
union leaders and their own fol¬ 
lowers, the outlook for die social 
contract is desperate. 


NAVAL OCCASION AT SIMONSTOWN 


i Government’s attitude lo¬ 
rds the Simonstown Agree- 
nt has long resembled that of 
tan who is not only trying to 
ss the Niagara Falls on a 
itrope, but has forfeited his 
e in midstream. Not quite sure 
JHher to go on or back, he 
^n where he is in the middle 
wishes the crowd would stop 
ting. This is not necessarily a 
icism, more a reflection of the 
cate balance of priorities 
ch has managed to keep the 
dement alive (but not well) 
r 19 difficult years, 
he 1955 exchange of letters 
rh became known as the 
onstown Agreement, surren- 
?d Britain’s control of the 
•'while retaining her right to 
its facilities, provided for 
sale of 20 British warships to 
h Africa and laid down that 
two countries should cooper- 
.. |n peacetime naval planning 
the protection of the Cape 
'outcs. Since then much has 
■ .'riled, including the political 
. tion of South Africa and the 
al disappearance of the 
, sh presence East of Suez. 

. a result of these changes 
, in’s use of Simonstown has 


sharply diminished and the 
Royal Navy’s dependence on 
the base’s facilities has almost 
completely gone. Few admirals 
and still fewer civilian strategists 
would argue that the agreement 
is an indispensable part of the 
country’s defence policy. It is 
probably fair to assume that 
South Africa derives more com¬ 
fort and benefit from its provi¬ 
sions than Britain does, particu¬ 
larly in relation to that which 
allows for cooperation between, 
the two navies. 

There are correspondingly few 
who would argue that the agree¬ 
ment has entirely lost its useful¬ 
ness. Task forces plying between 
Britain and the Far East under 
the Navy’s new “group deploy¬ 
ment” approach to the Indian 
Ocean, still find the stopover at 
Simonstown a welcome chance for 
sailors to stretch their legs and 
collect mail from home. Nor are 
the exercises without their value 

_particular]v when they include 

the chance of testing weapons on 
South Africa’s own weapon 
range. Simonstown has, too, the 
best and biggest dry dock 
between Europe and Singapore, 
and in times of conflict could 


prove a very valuable facility 
indeed. 

So it is useful but not indis¬ 
pensable. The difficulty for the 
Government is in deciding how 
useful. Is it so useful that one 
should risk incurring the hostility 
of emergent black Africa, and 
how great is that risk ? Is there 
much to be gained from naval 
cooperation with South Africa 
when, in time of war. South 
Africa would probably be only 
too glad to cooperate with the 
West anyway ? (She would 
certainly not want to cooperate 
with the Soviet Union). 

Like the man on the tightrope 
the Government-has found that 
the problem will not go away. But 
there are no easy answers. The 
present undignified squabble 
which does an injustice to -the 
Royal Navy and particularly to 
the admiral involved suggests 
that the semantic distinction 
between a courtesy -visit and an 
operational deployment provides 
no permanent solution to the 
Government’s embarrassment. 
One can only hope _ that the 
Foreign Secretary will clarify 
that particular issue in his Cardiff 
speech tonight.

Lords id its appellate jurisdiction 
should be widely discussed. 

But I write to protest against the 
assumption of which Professor 
Thakur’s letter in today’s issue 
(October 19) is only one example, 
and that by no means the most 
notable, implicit ip much of this 
discussion that the Appellate Com- 
mi nee of the House of Lords is free 
to make its decisions on policy 
grounds. In the recent case it was 
bound by the words of the Race 
Relations Act which it was its duty 
to interpret and by the rules of con¬ 
struction in accordance with , which 
the words of an Act of Parliament 
have in law to be interpreted. 
Neither the House of Lords in its 
appellate jurisdiction nor any other 
Court of Law in England is free to 
decide cases on purely policy 
grounds, and the contrary assump¬ 
tion is, I believe, largely based on 
the quite different terms of refer¬ 
ence of the American judiciary, and, 
in particular, the Supreme Court, in 
its approach to Acts of Congress or 
State Legislatures. 

It is perfectly legitimate for Par¬ 
liament to amend either the Race 
Relations Act, or any other Act, or 
to define different rules of construc¬ 
tion for the Courts to follow, includ¬ 
ing, if desired, that enunciated by 
Hump tv D unipry. But in the mean¬ 
time our Courts are there to apply 
tbe law as made, by Parliament, and 
not to improve it. 

Yours, etc, 

HAILSHAM OF ST MARYLE BONE, 
House of Lords. 

October 19. 

From Mr M. R. Hasan 
Sir, As a “ self-respecting ” coloured 
professional whose wife is a NHS 
doctor, I share the deep concern of 
Professor Thakur following the 
House of Lords ruling in the work¬ 
ing men's club case.. However, I 
should like to point out that the 
"coloured professionals” form only 
a minority of the coloured immi¬ 
grant population of Britain and 
whatever may be the reaction of this 
minority to the Lords’ verdict, the 
fact remains that the majority of 
the coloured immigrants have come 
to this country assuming that they 
have to put up with poor conditions 
and even some discrimination. 

This plight was very well summed 
up by Mr Roy Jenkins in a speech 
to a meeting of voluntary liaison 
committees of the National Com¬ 
mittee of the Commonwealth 
Immigrants on May 23 1966 during 
his first spell as the Home Secre¬ 
tary : “ Most of those who have come 
here in the past decade and a half 
are accepting an unwritten, un¬ 
spoken assumption. They have come 
expecting to do only the most menial 


jobs, because they are better then 
□o jobs at home.'* 

It appears from Professor 
Thakur’s letter that he has now 
decided to migrate to a country 
where he will nor be discriminated 
because of the colour of his skin. 
Although this kind of discrimination 
is most abhorrent, I wonder if there 
is any country in the world where 
discrimination in some form or other 
is not practised against the 
foreigners. 

Even if Professor Thakur derides 
to go back to the Indian sub- 
continent, to which he presumably 
belongs, he might find discrimina¬ 
tion on the basis of bis caste or 
creed—if nor his colour—quite ram¬ 
pant there. Hence, I think char 
coloured professionals of Professor 
Thakur’s status and stature should 
remain In Britain and actively par¬ 
ticipate in the fight for equal rights 
and equal privileges for all. 

Yours faithfully, 

M. R. HASAN,

October 20. 

From Mr A. C. H. Vale 
Sir, Professor Thakur (October 19) 
concludes that “ discrimination on 
the grounds of colour and race have 
received legal sanction ” as a result 
of the recent derision of rhe House 
of Lords concerning a working men’s 
club in Preston. 

With respect, this is not so. One 
is ooly compelled to conclude that 
certain conduct, which is not illegal, 
is receiving legal sanction, if one's 
reaction to all unpleasant behaviour 
or immorality is: there ought to be 
a law against it. 

Prostitution is not illegal. But does 
it receive legal sanction ? Of course 
not. The House of Lords has just 
derided that not all forms of racial 
discrimination are. illegal, but the 
law does not; sanction such conduct. 
Nor did the law do so before the 
advent of the Race Relations Act; 
for example, iu 1947 a court insisted 
on the removal of a colour bar from 
a trust for the benefit of students 
in the Empire because the words 
were not compatible with the 
trust’s charitable objects. (Re 
Dominion Students Hall Trust) 

Professor Thakur goes on to sug¬ 
gest that this derision now makes 
the law in Britain “not vastly dif¬ 
ferent from South Africa”. In that 
country, as I understand the situa¬ 
tion, the law prescribes with some 
exacticude the racial groups with 
which a person may eat, sleep and 
drink, and where. In other words, 
tbe law closely regulates a person’s 
private life. 

The House of Lords, on the con¬ 
trary, have held that the law will 
not concern itself with activities of 
a private nature. That seems to me 
to be a proper principle to apply. 
Yours faithfully, 

A C. H. VALE,

Problem of birth control 


From Mrs Jocelyn Playfair 
Sir, I am not a Fascist and neither, 
of course, is Sir Keith Joseph. I am 
not even a Tory but I agree with 
every word of Sir Keith’s speech. 
The reactions of the trades union 
leadens puzzle me. Is one to suppose 
they are blaming the Tories because 
school children, have babies, be¬ 
cause irresponsible young people 
sponge on. tbe social services, 
because babies are battered to death 
by immature people who have no 
right to bave them ? 

Incidentally I am sorry that nice 
Mr Joe Gormley should be so 
touchy. Sir Keith was not talking 
about class but a bout, the poor and 
no one could accuse miners of being 
poor. 

Yours, etc, 

JOCELYN PLAYFAIR, 

5 Wetherby Gardens, SW5. 

From Mr D. L. W. Ashton 
Sir, The hysterical protests accusing 
Sir Keith Joseph of " Victorianism ” 
and even “ Nazism ” prompt two 
simple questions. (1) Which is a 
more compassionate social .policy: 
to encourage an increase in the 
proportion of future citizens with 
productive resources of ability and 
income sufficient to support those 
much less fortunate than them¬ 
selves, or instead to encourage the 
multiplication of those individuals 
who need that support from others 
because they themselves lack such 
resources ? 

(2) Which approach in the long 
run is more likely to sustain an 
efficient welfare state, let alone 
civilization itself ? Surely a 
rational answer is feasible without 
prejudicial and irrelevant allusions 
to castration, thought-police, work- 
houses, stud farms or gas chambers ? 
Yours faithfully, 

D. L. W. ASHTON, 
c/o Europe House Club, 
la Whitehall Place, SW1. 

From Mr Antony Grey 
Sir, However inadequately. Sir Keith 
Joseph is—unlike most politicians 
—courageous enough to think and 
speak of socio-moral values. That 
can only be good. More’s the pity 
he gives yet further credence to the 
vulgar myth of the * permissive 
society 

Those of us who have been 
actively engaged for a decade and 
more in coal-face social work among 
young people seek in vain for this 
hoary beast. Though we are con¬ 
stantly assured by Sir Keith’s new 
paragon, Mrs Whitehouse, and her 
ilk, that it is the root of all evil we 
have yet to set eyes upon it. What 
we do encounter is a generation 
some of whom are increasingly im¬ 
patient at the trite platitudes of the 
unco’ guid; who are as deeply con¬ 
cerned for their neighbours as for 
themselves; and who are brave 
enough to live and to love as they 
see fit rather than as the nanny- 
figures of society instruct them to 
do. 

Of course there are casualties : of 
course the young need and expect 
some moral guidance: fortunately 
some of us attempt to bind up their 
wounds and encourage them along 
life's path without the censorious 
moralizing of the over-simplifiers, 
who seem to us bent upon the foster¬ 
ing of an incipient social fascism. 

For, surely, we who are British 
still believe in the individual free¬ 
doms which we fought for against 
Nazi tyranny? And i£ we do, we 


must recognize that these involve 
freedom for people to make 
mistakes and wrong choices as well 
as good and wise ones. Sir Keith 
himself, when calling for “ remoreali¬ 
sation ”, admits that this is primarily 
a cask for the inner man—not for 
“ morals police ”. Let us hope that 
his interpretation of Tory philo¬ 
sophy will not Invoke the sad 
mistake of seeking to make us all 
good by Act of Parliament. Let him 
not forget that the Puritans des¬ 
troyed themselves when they for¬ 
bade the maypoles. 

In a pluralistic society, liberty 
should not be misidentified as 
license. In seeking a more realistic 
analysis of today’s discontents than 
Sir Keith has yet provided, Tory 
philosophy will engage upon a 
worthy task. 

Yours faithfully, 

ANTONY GREY, 

Managing Trustee, 

Albany Trust, 

18 Corsica Street, N5. 

From Mr P. V. Moon 
Sir, For a man of reputed intellect 
and education. Sir Keith Joseph 
shows a decided ignorance of the 
actual content of what he refers to 
as “left-wing ideology”. The Wel¬ 
fare State is not in fact a watered 
down version of totalitarian com¬ 
munism, where the collectivity 
assumes an all embracing respon¬ 
sibility for, and unrestricted rights 
of intrusion into, the lives of its 
members. The Welfare State indeed 
perhaps owes more to Mill than to 
Marx. It represents the apogee of 
Liberalism rather than socialism. 

The Welfare State is concerned 
with man in his two fundamental 
aspects—as an individual and as a 
social animal. If government is to 
be in the interest of .all those who 
compose society then it must protect 
the weak from the dictatorship of 
the strong by helping them to com¬ 
pete on more equal terms. It should 
also seek to enable each individual 
to realize himself to the full. The 
state acts not so as to oblige the 
individual to follow the pre-estab¬ 
lished aims of the collectivity, but 
rather so as to liberate him from 
the restraints on his capacity for 
self-realization, his own . further 
development, and the exercise of his 
own freedom and spontaneity. Ic 
has a crucial role to play iu freeing 
him from poverty, ill health, ignor¬ 
ance and oppression. 

At the same time, with regards to 
man as a social being, the Welfare 
State ba$ an integrative function to 
perform. It thus caters both for 
man’s individuality and bis need for 
belonging. It enables him to feel 
part of a wider social organism—a 
partner with others in a state which 
actually belongs to him. It is for this 
reason that the NHS, free educa¬ 
tion, bread subsidies, etc, are made 
available to all, whether rich or 
poor, affluent or destitute, and why 
it can be argued that opting out of 
this system is divisive and destruc¬ 
tive. 

Sir Keith, it seems, would com¬ 
bat sorial decay by scrapping this 
machinery of integration and plac¬ 
ing in its stead the nation. But it 
should be appreciated that patriot¬ 
ism has often been a mask for the 
brutal suppression, of individual 
rights and spontaneity, and for the 
protection of undeserving and 
exploitative privilege. 

Yours faithfully, 

P. V. MOON,

THE EDITOR 


Conservative policy in opposition 


From Sir Peter Alien 
Sir, In the months ahead of us the 
Government will need support from 
all sides for measures which are 
acceptable to men of goodwill. It is 
important, however, that the Con¬ 
servative Party should put together 
a policy to be asserted in opposi¬ 
tion and for action when they are 
next in office. 

Four areas for positive Conserva¬ 
tive policy seem to me to be 
essentia] : — 

1. Support for industry. Industry 
and commerce provide our wealth. 
Tbe public corporations provide only 
about 10 per cent of our gross 
domestic product. The private 
sector prorides nearly three- 
quarters of the total, the remainder 
coming from central and local gov¬ 
ernment 

We are thus a predominantly capi¬ 
talist-based society so it is madness 
not to make the' system, with its 
imperfections and its greater 
virtues, work properly. Therefore 
we must support private industry 
and commerce—in order to secure 
jobs, progress and prafirs for re¬ 
investment. To this end we must tax 
industry sensibly and never tax it 
penally in order to be able to 
nationalize it by the back door. 

Nationalization as an alternative 
to encouraging private industry 
should be vigorously rejected. To 
make Marks & Spencer as efficient 
as the Co-op and ICI as successful 
as the Post Office would be a poor 
deal for the nation. 

2, A vigorous energy policy. We 


need a harder drive to make us not 
only self-supporting in energy but 
an exporter—and sooner than is now 
planned. For this I think we need an 
energy executive with wide powers 
granted by Parliament and positive 
thinking from Whitehall. The Con¬ 
servative Party should not rule out 
Government money for North Sea 
gas and oil if it is necessary to push 
the job ahead but not 51 per cent 
ownership—40 per cent would do 
what is needed. 

3. Healthy agriculture. Our agri¬ 
culture is said to be among the best 
in the world. It is therefore absurd 
that our farming should not be 
profitable. Let us see that it is and 
if this means using our elbows some¬ 
what in Brussels, so be it. Our part¬ 
ners in the Common Market use 
Theirs and they will expect us to 
stick up-for ourselves. We ought to 
aim at growing two-thirds of our 
food. 

4. MV should campaign no to to stay 
in the EEC. Industrialists who have 
confidence in British industry knew 
that the shorr-term effects of .mining 
would be adverse hut the long-term 
results favourable. We are still in the 
shorr-rerm period sn it would be 
stupid to pul] our. As that is what 
the Communist Party wants us to 
do, it must he ivrona rn withdraw. 

So—encourage British industry 
and commerce, the source of all our 
wealth. 

Yours faithfullv,

Right to criticize 

From Mr Joe Rocbcr 
Sir, Are there no limits to the 
paranoia of politicians when they 
turn their attention, all too fre¬ 
quently, to the press ? A newspaper 
or television programme has only 
ro do its job—of Not Letting Them 
Get Away With It—to have politi¬ 
cians drumming their heels on the 
ground and shouting about “irre¬ 
sponsibility ” or mumbling, as Lord 
Beswick did in your columns 
(October 16;, about unwillingness to 
“ encourage that cohesive in¬ 
fluence”. Mr Robin Day, he says, 
“ did absolutely nothing else, for 
hours, but to get one public figure 
to criticize another 

It is not just the triviality of this 
sort of comment that is worrying. 
Public figures, even if they needed 
Mr Day’s encouragement, ought to 
be able to resist it. It is the assump¬ 
tion that the public interest Is best 


served by eliminating criticism and 
controversy from public debate when 
all that is eliminated is the debate 
itself. This is, of course, what any 
party in power wants. 

Lord Beswick is not alone and 
when the Labour Government, of 
which he is a member, mounts its 
long-promised attack on the indepen¬ 
dence of the press and broadcasting 
then, it will be time to man the 
barricades. But we must watch like 
hawks, for the attack will not he 
overt. A soothing word, a friendly 
band under the elbow, minor adjust¬ 
ments to the BBC’s financing, a new 
—so logical—coordinating group ... 
it could come anywhere. And when 
it comes it must be seen for what 
it is and resisted to the end. A free 
press is one of the glories of a 
civilized country. 

I am. Sir, yours faithfully, 

JOE ROEBER,

Cost of oil imports 

From Mr John Jewkes 
Sir, No one would wish to spread 
unnecessary despondency but surely 
the Prime Minister was painting too 
rosy a picture when in his recent 
television appearance he said: 
“Since last Autumn we have re¬ 
duced our monthly non-oil deficit 
by nearly two-tbirds It is true that 
between the last quarter of 1973 
and the third quarter of 1974 the 
monthly non-oil deficit dropped 
from £240m to £89m, a decrease of 
62 per cent. But in the same period 
the oil deficit increased from £100m 
to £303m, an increase of 203 per 
cent. So the total risible deficit 
went up by 35 per cent from £340m 
to £392m. 

Moreover our monthly invisible 
surplus decreased from £139m to 
£105m, a decrease of 32 per cent. 
We are, in fact, getting deeper into 
the red. And the recent optimistic 
talk of our “export explosion" is 
surely wishful thinking. Exporting 
is going to be increasingly difficult 
in the future and, in recent months, 
our export performance has not 
been as good as that of many other 
countries. 

The moral is tbat we must, by 
hook or by crook, reduce our im¬ 


ports of oil, preferably by joint 
action with other oil consuming 
countries but if nor, unilaterally. It 
is true, as the Prime Minister said, 
that “if all the nations seek to 
balance their accounts by cutting 
back their imports the world will 
spiral down into a slump”. But 
that does not apply to oil imports. 
A cut there is one positive way of 
blunting the powers of the ruthless 
Arab cartel. 

Of course oil is a raw material 
of industry and commerce and any 
cuts in consumption should be made 
in the right places. I suggest that 
the. Government should start by 
asking whether it could not reduce 
the cost of our oil imports by some 
hundreds of millions of pounds by 
expecting the nation to make sacri¬ 
fices in “ pleasure ” motoring. And 
probably the lease painful way of 
doing this would be to combine a 
standard ration at something like 
present prices with the possibility 
of purchasing more at very much 
higher prices. 

Yours fairhfully,

Combating racism 

From Mr Just gen Hilke 
Sir, We are of course delighted that 
Mr Sparrow and his friends are 
prepared to put so much money 
into questioning what he calls (The 
Times October 19) “ the priorities " 
of the World Council of Churches. 
The following figures should help to 
show how tbe WCC spends its 
money. 

For 1975 the WCC is seeking a 
total of a little more than four 
million pounds to be spent as fol¬ 
lows: 39 per cent on service and 
development work throughout the 
world; 23.8 per cent on theological 
studies, mission and evangelism; 
13.9 per cent on renewal and educa¬ 
tion; 12.4 per cent on the work of 
the general secretariat, general 
administrative services and execu¬ 
tive committee meetings; 7.2 per 
cent on communication and 3.7 per 
cent on combating racism. 

In addition 13 million pounds will 
be sought for the support of various 
programmes and projects of the 
churches in more than' 90 countries, 
mainly in_ the field of service and 
development. The task of combating 
racism in all parts of the world is 
a central part of the world council’s 
work, but as can be seen from the 
above, it forms part of a total WCC 
commitment to the wholeness of the 
gospel.

The Katyn memorial 

From Mr Andrzej Panufnik 
Sir, May I say how strongly sym¬ 
pathetic I feel to my fellow Polish 
exiles and some British people with 
their most idealistic project to jerect 
a monument to the victims of Katyri. 
I do trust that the British sense of 
justice and humanity will allow the 
seemingly trivial obstacles to be 
overcome, and the monument will 
very shortly be raised in a prominent 
place in central London. 

My own concern over the horri¬ 
fic massacre at Katyrt, where 
many thousands of Polish patriots 
were slaughtered while com¬ 
pletely defenceless, and my deep 
sorrow that the Western civilized 
nations have allowed this crime to 
remain forgotten, I voiced in a short 
symphonic work, KatyA Epitaph, 


composed in 1967 and premiered the 
following year in New York by 
Leopold Stokowski. (I hope it is mere 
coincidence that still, seven years 
after its composition, my Katyn 
Epitaph is the only musical work of 
mine never performed io Britain ...) 

As to tbe letter of Sir Edward 
Playfair (Friday, October 181 where 
he questions: "... need it ftiie 
memorial] be on this ground, 
hallowed by the Church of 
England ? ” I find this most dis¬ 
tressing. After all, whether the 
people involved are Catholic or Pro¬ 
testant, both are fellow humans and 
both are brother Christians. Other¬ 
wise, what is Christianity ? 

Yours faithfully,

Wooster in love 

From Mr L. IV. Bailey 
Sir, Susan Hill, the reviewer of 
P. G. Wo dehouse’s Aunts Aren’t 
Gentlemen (October 17) displays her 
familiarity with the Wooster saga 
but surprisingly states that the old 
Wooster would never have admitted 
to being in love. 

The “old Wooster" (by which 
presusmably she means the young 
Wooster) was in and out of love 
almost as frequently as his friend 
Bingo Little. When Jeeves entered 
his employment as gentleman’s per¬ 
sonal gentleman he was engaged to 
Lady Florence Craye and until his 
eyes were opened regarded this as 
a love match. Then there was 
Pauline Stoker (before she met Lord 
Chuffnell), Bobbie Wickham (several 
times in spite of Jeeves’s warnings 
about that particular shade of red 
hair) and many others. 

When Bertie refused to go on her 
Mediterranean cruise Aunt Dahlia, 
who was familiar with his activities, 
said “I suppose this means you’re 
hanging round some unfortunate 
female again ” to which Bertie 
replied with simple dignity “Yes, 
Aunt Dahlia. I do indeed love.” 

, The later Bertie certainly does not 
involve himself so much, perhaps 
because he is continually being 
ensnared by the appalling Madeline 
Bassett.

- Mr David Oistrakh, the most 
admired Russian violinist of liis 

generation, died - suddenly in 
Amsterdam yesterday. He was 
66 . 

One of the first Soviet artists 
to be able, in the friendlier 
atmosphere prevailing between 
Russia and the West after the 
middle 1950s, to travel widely, 
the superb technical quality of 
bis playing and the sumptuous¬ 
ness of - bis tone were, admired 
all over the world. He was the 
outstanding exponent of a 
school of violin playing which 
is specifically and traditionally 
Russian. 

- David Fyodorovich Oistrakh 
—his mother was . am opera- 
singer and his father an amateur 
violinist-—was born in Odessa on 
September 30, 190S, and edu¬ 
cated ar the Musical and 
Dramatic Institute of his home 
town. From the age of 18, when 
he first began to tour Russia as 
a soloist, his career seemed to 
be.a.series of undisputed con¬ 
quests. He was first heard in 
both Leningrad and Moscow in 
1928 ; in 1930 he won Che first 
prize, in. the Ukrainian Violin 
Competition in Kharkov and, 
following the Russian custom 
(jealously, preserved by the 
Soviet Government) of feeding 
the finest soloists into die 
academies as teachers of then: 
instruments, he was appointed 
Lecturer at Moscow Conserva¬ 
toire. In 1934 he won the 
Wiemawski prize in Warsaw. 

Concerts in Paris and Brus¬ 
sels, m 1937, brought him for 
the first time into the reach -of 
audiences in Western Europe, 
but another 14 years—those :_af 
the Second World War and its 
politically disturbed aftermath 
—passed before he was able to 
play again beyond what bad in 
the meantime come to be known 
as the ‘"Iron Curtain”. They 
were years of continued 
.triumph in Russia. Tn 1939 be 
was appointed Professor of 
Violin at Moscow Conservatoire, 
and in 1942 he was awarded a 
Stalin Prize. After his appear¬ 
ance at the Florence Festival in 
1951, which was his return to 
the international scene, he paid" 
a second visit to Paris in 1953 
and first played in London a 
year later. Visits to Japan, Ger¬ 
many and the United Stares fol¬ 
lowed ii 1955. From then on¬ 
wards. he was the most busily 
occupied of Russian musicians 
outside his own country, and his 
occasional appearances with his 
son Tg or Oistrakh (who by 1960 
had proved himself to .be a for¬ 
midably gifted violinist) sug¬ 
gested something of his quality 


as. a teacher, for his son had '• 

- been one : of his pupils in 3* 

Moscow. -r 

Oiscrakh’s repertoire was 
wide, and be gave great vitality, ' 
rich breadth of tone and unusual < - • 
sensitiveness to all the-major ^ 
concertos and to the classical 
.violin and piano sonatas in ^ ' 

which be .was more rarely ~ 
heard. He was particularly 
associated with the first Co» - 
carto of Shostakovich, which 
was dedicated to him; its first . 

performance outside Russia .■ 

took - place when Oistrakh -fi 

played it in London in 1956. 

Among his favourite works was 
Elgar’s concerto. Oistrakh, 
however, never exploited these 
.personal gifts as things in them¬ 
selves worthy of an audience’s s*. 
attention ; he was always a musi- •• 
dan dedicated to the work he " 
was playing. . •: 

Familiarity with London, 
where be was made an honorary .. .. 

fellow of the Royal Academy ... 
of Music in 1959, and friendship ' - • 

with musicians active in Britain, ‘ ■ ’’ 
notably with Yehudi Menuhin, *'■ 
led to a-fruitful extension of his >'.r " 
activities in London, as in the .-r 
concerts in which he and Menu- ' . 

hiii appeared as conductors of 
each other’s concertos. Though 
a gift for conducting was not 
among . Oistrakh*s most scrik- ' 
ing qualities, his appearances 
on the rostrum always led to 
efficient performances entirely 
in sympathy with the aims of 
‘ the soloist. 

A vigorously tough, genial ■■■■.• 

.man with the face of a rather .rr . 

.battered Socrates, David Oist¬ 
rakh was by nature direct, 
forthright, friendly and inter¬ 
ested in the world. An occa- 0Stf7?

to find a (tinner in Kensington

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 


v .The way In which cancer problems are 
; usually presented to the public does 
little to make them any easier to solve 
; The idea that this is a desease the 
. causes of which can be discovered and 
• the cure for which will one day be 
provided, is encouraged, while its true 
nature as a varied set of disorganized 
reactions to many inciting agents and 
. the successful prevention or control -of 
many or its forms are neglected. 

A.false expectation of miracles is 
thus combined with an underestimate 
of the present high level of achieve¬ 
ment. Some fresh thinking, replanning 
and plain speaking are needed and 
might do a great deal of good. 

Doctors, in practice, deal with people. 
Good doctors deal with people’s hopes 
and fears, their families and friends 
as well as with their diseases. Very 
good doctors see that each patient gets 
the best advice and treatment that is 
available whether he is able to provide 
it himself or not. To do this he has 
to know where the best is to be had. 

With cancer, especially with the 
rarer forms, the differences in success 
rates, from one treatment centre to 
another vary considerably since, experi¬ 
ence, team-work, and international 
exchange of information are all needed 
if the best chance of success is to be 
provided. Some chance of success has 
to be present, however. Concentration 
- on the production of miracles in cura¬ 
tive medicine for advanced malignant 
disease is not the best way to help the 

E ublic, even if a near miracle is 
rought off from time to time, because 
; repeated disappointment leads to dis- 
. illusion. Nor, indeed, can it be the best 
method - of tackling the problems 
involved. 

. Advances in science depend a great 
deal on the way in which we look at 

E roblems ; they depend on asking 
etter and better questions. Population 
methods of dealing with problems of 
’■ health have proved far more effective 


^dividual methods. Improvement 
in health over the past 200 years or 
so has been due to limitation of f ami ly 
size, good food supplies, better environ¬ 
ment, prevention and curative medicine 
in about that order ; certainly to 
family planning, nutrition, hygiene and 
immunization long before treatment. 
_ Lifespan increases and medical prob* 
c . an S e when starvation and most 
epidemic infections have been over¬ 
come and protection from many dan¬ 
gerous and harsh, environments has 
been achieved. Medicine then becomes 
increasingly concerned with accidents, 
degenerative disease, congential abnor¬ 
malities, psychiatric problems and old 
age. The two most common causes of 
death in this country’ now are heart 
disease and cancer. If we want to im¬ 
prove our cancer organization we have 
to understand these disorders and deal 
with them on a population basis not 
only on a personal one, let alone on 
one which concentrates chiefly on the 
difficulties presented by advanced 
disease. We want more effort on pre¬ 
vention and early detection and we 
need to see that the best known inves¬ 
tigation and treatment is available to 
all who need it. To achieve such aims 
we require a better cancer organization 
from our Department of- Health and 
Social Security and a more rational and' 
hopeful view of the cancer - problem 
from the general public. 

A population based cancer pro¬ 
gramme must have backing from edu¬ 
cation and research and an expert 
evaluation of the results of each pro¬ 
ject launched to allow us to learn from 
experience and to spread success. The 
organization must, therefore, coordi¬ 
nate education, research, evaluation, 
prevention, early detection, investiga¬ 
tion and treatment. It must be ade¬ 
quately financed and see that 
information flows so that all of us, lay 
social and medical, may know what is 


Why more effort 
is needed to coordinate cancer 
research with treatment 


going on and see how things ,are turn- 
, Ing out. - 

No coordinated national cancer pro¬ 
gramme of this kind has yet been 
attempted, although, in the past few 
years real-steps-have- been taken-in 
this country towards such an achieve- 
j menL 

i The United States Senate Committee 
) on Labour and Public Welfare pub¬ 
lished the Yarborough Report in 
November 1970, which called for “A 
national programme for the conquest 
of cancer”. The report declared that 
cancer was “the number one health 
concern of the American people” and 
that they were talking about, a major 
scientific programme not- about “ the 
delivery of patient care generally in 
cancer cases ”, and affirmed that 
“ cancer is a disease which can be 
conquered”. Congress then voted 
, 440 million dollars for the vear 
1972/73. 

' In this country The Cancer Advisory 
Sub-committee, of which I was then 
Chairman, reported to the Minister of 
State through the Standing Medical 
Advisory Committee and the Central 
Health Services Council ; its recom¬ 
mendations were published in the 
Central Health Services Council's 
annual report for 1970. Comments 
were received from official bodies and 
from individuals and a revised report 
was accepted by. the Government, the 
announcement being made by Sir 
Keith Joseph in May 1972. 

Our approach was very different 
from that of the Americans. We 


indulged in no talk of final conquest, 
we did not confuse the issue by making 
false comparisons between the control 
of a complicated set of tissue reactions 
in man and the type of technological 
.progress-which took him to the moon r 
we proposed no plan to buy complete 
.solutions to ill-defined biological 
problems, instead we asked thar an 
organization be created to secure clear 
cut practical gains. We stressed our 
view that.cancer research.and practice 
needed to be brought much closer 
together as the cancer problem was not 
one which could be solved by 
research divorced from the constant 
stimulation of ideas derived from 
clinical medicine. My committee 
advocated the gradual development of 
a national plan concentrating on 
prevention and patient care through 
the establishment of a few’ trial 
regional organizations each covering 
a population, of about three million 
people. 

In each of these areas programmes 
were to be developed to coordinate the 
cancer work of general practices, 
hospitals, social services, research and 
education, to promote the closer 
integration of research with practice 
and to evaluate every effort made. 
Each trial region was to have an 
opportunity for separate development 
in order to provide guide lines for 
later expansion. 

The differences between the 
American approach and ours were 
interesting. Their expressed belief in 
conquest through vastly increased 


expenditure on research without 
reference to patient care did not appear 
to us to be practical. Their programme 
has since been modified With less 
emphasis on “throwing dollars at 
problems” and more on putting!.- 
talented people to work and on clinical 
research. 

The Depart ent of Health and Social 
Security nominated four centres for the 
trial: Manchester, Leeds, South West 
Metropolitan and 'Wessex. A meeting 
was held in the department in 
February, 1974, to provide an oppor- j 
tunity for' an exchange of views about 
the approaches each region had so far 
made to the problem. Many of the 
speakers emphasized the need for “ new 
money ” if their organizations were to 
be launched successfully. The 
department said that financial support 
would be provided for the establish¬ 
ment of these organizations, but that 
there were already channels for the 
funding of service and research 
requirements. New support, they said, 
would be dependent on the selected 
regions putting forward specific 
proposals. Some projects had already 
been accepted and money provided. The 
department stressed its willingness to 
support evaluation in the trial regions 
from central funds. 

It seemed rhat a slow start had at 
last been made, hut the intention to j 
allocate no specific sum of money and j 
to retain financial control at project , 
level centrally was a disappointment 
to all. It bad seemed to the advocates 
of the scheme that the essence of the 
trial centre proposal was that each of 
them would be given enough financial 
independence to develop their own 
ideas so that variety would be provided 
and lessons learnt. There was a fear 
that, at regional level, health authorities 
might either use “ new money ” to 
provide services which they should have 


been making available in any case so, in 
effect, deflecting their new support to 
schemes not related to the cancer 
problem or that they might use it on 
cancer schemes .for which no real 
evaluation could be made. The fear, at 
central level, was that lip service might 
be paid to the idea of cancer reorganiza¬ 
tion but that enough money, however 
controlled, would not be provided in a 
period of financial difficulty to see that 
such a scheme had any opportunity to 
prove its worth in a reasonable time. It 
seemed unwise to rely on central 
approval for every project by the 
Department of Health which appeared 
tn be ill-equipped for such a job, and 
reluctant to set up a small, expert 
coordinating body which could deal 
with this problem alone. 

A better public understanding of the 
problems involved and a read com¬ 
munity Interest in the organization of 
the services for cancer control in this 
country are needed if the four trial 
centres are to have any real opportunity 
for success. Without insistence on 
evaluation, without enough money and 
without some freedom of action they 
are unlikely to make much impression. 
It would be sad if the realistic plan 
which has been put forward, which has 
secured government backing and which 
will be watched with interest in many 
countries should fail through lack of 
imagination, effort and enthusiastic 
support. Arousing public interest in 
this matter is likely to be one of the 
best ways of seeing that the plan is 
energetically pursued.

A New Look at Cancer by Professor 
Sir David Smithers was published by

that, if such a conspiracy 
existed, it had kindlier motives 
—and sounder reasons—than Dr 
Tufts allows. Her dilemma is 
neatly illustrated by a certain 
Mr Peale, of Philadelphia (unde 
to the nineteenth-century society 
painter Sarah Peale'), who named 
his four sons Raphaelle, Rem¬ 
brandt, Rubens and Titian, and, 
wishing to do as well by his four 
daughters, called them Angelica 
Kauffmann, Sofonisba Anguis- 
sola, Rosalba Camera and 
Sybilla Merian. All the Peale 
girls’ namesakes figure promin¬ 
ently in Dr Tufts’s book, and all 
four are singularly able painters 
—indeed, one can well see why 
Sofonisba's portraits (especially 
the subtle, minutely observed 
and marvellously composed 
painting of her Three Sisters 
Ploying Chess; pleased the Pope 
and Michelangelo, while Sybilla 
Merian’s strange, delicate, sinis¬ 
ter studies of Sumerian birds 
and insects are among the finest 
things in this book; but one 
cannot help feeling, with Mr 
Peale, that his girls’ names were 
not much to set beside his boys’. 

Art criticism is not Dr Tufts’s 


forte and, to do her justice, she 
docs not attempt to compare her 
subjects with their great con¬ 
temporaries save in point of 
prices (Levina Teerling, court 
painter to Henry VJII and his 
three children, had a higher 
wage titan Holbein) or tributes 
paid (Angelica Kauffmann had 
a funeral “ unparalleled in 
Rome since the death of 
Raphael "). What most strik¬ 
ingly links all these artists— 
and perhaps partly explains why 
even the finest remain indisput¬ 
ably minor—is their modesty, 
conventionality, above all their 
almost total lack of interest in 
any kind of radical innovation. 
Personal eccentricity is nearly 
always in inverse proportion to 
aesthetic calibre—Rosa Bon- 
heur, who astonished mid¬ 
nineteenth century Paris by 
smoking, wearing trousers and 
keeping a sheep on the balcony 
of the family’s sixth-floor flat, 
produced a series of lamentably 
dull animal paintings ; Edmonia 


Lewis—half North American 
Indian, half Negro, tried for 
double murder while still a 
schoolgirl—is perhaps the most 
extraordinary character in this 
book, and undoubtedly the most 
banal artist Artemisia Genti- 
leschi, who was raped in her 
own studio at the age of IS 
and whnse' favourite theme 
thereafter was Judith with The 
Head of Holofcmes, paints 
Judith sawing away at her 
seducer's neck with brawny 
arms and an abstracted frown 
for all the world like a cook 
.at work on a particularly obstin¬ 
ate joint in her kitchen. 

This is, in short, a book 
which holds small comfort for 
women's libbers, and one which 
will not even serve as a text 
on man’s inhumanity to women 
since (despite the shortcomings 
of male chroniclers) practically 
all these artists, at any rate 
until the nineteenth century, 
were painters’ daughters whose 
careers would not have been 


possible at all without their 
fathers* help, mu to mention 
their friends’, lovers’ and hus¬ 
bands’. 

’ Perhaps the most poignant 
reproduction in the bonk is a 
portrait medal of the celebrated 
sixteenth-century Bolognese 
painter, Lavinin Fnman-i. whose 
husband abandoned his own 
career to look after the children 
(she had 111 and paint his 
wife’s picture frames. It shows 
a comfortable, commanding 
matron with straddled legs and 
hair on end seated at her easel 
in an attitude which, combining 
physical exhaustion with mental 
frenzy, conveys a vivid sense 
of something on which Dr 
TuFts barely touches—the truly 
formidable social, domestic, 
sexual and financial problems 
with which most, if not all of 
these indomitable women must 
have had to contend.

It is a curious fact that, whereas 
lady novelists have never been 
in short supply, - most people 
would be hard pressed to name 
even half a dozen women paint¬ 
ers before the twentieth century, 
let alone one who achieved any-

thing like the stature of, say, 
Jane Austen or George Eliot. 

Indeed, until quite recently, 
the general view was well' put 
by Dr Johnson who thought 
.portrait painting an improper 
employment for a woman.

“ Public practice of any art,” he 
observed, “and staring in men’s 
faces, is very indelicate for a 
female.” 

But Dr Eleanor Tufts of the 
Southern Methodist University. 
Dallas, has set out single- 
handed to right the wrongs 
Idone down the ages to her sex 
in a book —Our Bidden Heri¬ 
tage. Five Centuries of Women 
Artists (to -be published by 
Paddington Press on Monday at 
£5.95)—which shows that any¬ 
thing men did, women could do 
too, whether it was High Renais¬ 
sance, rococo or French neo¬ 
classical portraits, Elizabethan 
miniatures, Italian altar pieces 
or Dutch interiors. Dr Tufts has 
assembled 22 artists to con¬ 
found (or perhaps confirm) Dr 
Johnson’s _ male chauvinism. 
Self-portraits of these ladies at 
their easels provide a bewilder¬ 
ing pot-pourri of styles—as well 
as an interesting sidelight on 
the charming clothes they wore 
for painting, from the sixteenth 
century Catharine van Hem- 
essen, pale and prim in .long 
red velvet sleeves with pink 
lace collar and cuffs, to the 
seventeenth century Judith 
Leyster, negligently dangling a 
loaded brush . against her im¬ 
mense and exquisitely starched 
white ruff, or Elisabetta Sirazti 
whose low-cuc bodice, billowing 

sleeves and lavish jewellery 

suggest a fine indifference to 
the oily palette in her hand. 

Just over a 100 years later 
Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun attacks 
her canvas in an enchanting 
muslin mob-cap, frills, ruffles 
and a huge silk sash, while Paula 
Modersohn-Becker—a decidedly 
less seductive representative of 
the twentieth century—grimly 
confronts hers in nothing but a 
necklace. 

Comparatively few of these 
names are likely to be even 
moderately well known today 
and Dr Tufts, taking a stem 
line with art historians, puts 
their neglect down to a “ con¬ 
spiracy of silence” on the pan 
of “male chroniclers”. 

Her readers may well' feel

Inflation fears 
boost gold 
as sterling and 
dollar weaken 


By Melvyn Westlake 

A fresh wave oF nervousness 
iibout inflation and tbe world 
economy contributed to a sharp 
rise in the gold price on Euro¬ 
pean bullion markets yesterday, 
and sizable selling of sterliug 
and the dollar. 

The price of gold leapt $6.50 
an ounce, to close at $164.25— 
its highest level for five months. 
Dealers reported “ active ” trad¬ 
ing and a “ large '' turnover. 

It w’as regarded as significant 
that the price bad once again 
broken through tbe “ psycho¬ 
logical barrier ” of S160 an 
ounce. ■ 

The pound continued tbe 
steady decline that has 
characterized trading this week. 
Its effective (trade weighted! 
depredation rate against 10 key 
currencies, worsened to 18.9 
per cent —its weakest level For 
more than eight months. This 
rate compares with 17.6 per 
cent at the beginning of Octo¬ 
ber. . 

The pound was also 0.15 cent 
lower against the dollar—which 
has also weakened markedly in 
recent days—to end the day at 
$2.3315. 

There was concern that these 
movements constituted a re¬ 
appraisal about prospects for 
the British and United States 
economies. 

Until recently both countries 
have been protected by the 
comparatively high rates of 
interest ruling in London and 
New York. As a result both 
centres have seen a strong 
inflow of funds from oil produc¬ 
ing countries. 

However, die easing of 
interest rates in both centres 
has begun to make both sterling 
and the dollar less attractive, 
particularly as rates in West 


Germany and Switzerland have 
remained firm in recent weeks. 

Although Germanv yesterday 
cut its bank rate from 7 to 6J 
per cent, tins apparently proved 
to be a smaller reduction than 
expected, and consequently 
failed to reverse the weaker 
trend of sterling and dollars. 

Ominously, money has again 
begun to flow into Frankfurt 
and Zurich, which together with 
gold, are traditionally regarded 
as safe havens in troubled 
tames. 

This trend has been iutensi- 
u ** . the past few days by 

l he decision of Swiss monetary 
authorities to permit once 
again the payment of interest on 
foreign deposits in Switzerland. 

The reduction in the German 
bank rate, together with other 
minor monetary measures, were 
apparently motivated by the 
need to ease liquidity within the 
German economy. 

. How much of yesterday’s rise 
in the gold price was the result 
of buying by'oil producers was 
unclear. 

Mr David Bodner, the senior 
vice-president-of the Chemical 
Bank, gave a warning in London 
yesLerday that “ some major 
banks now have just about 
enough oil monev as they' can 
take ”, 

He said that the “ test 
period ” for the international 
banking system in absorbing 
“ petrodollar ” flows was just 
beginning. 

“The bigger banks were now 
reaching saturation point in 
tlieir ability to absorb these oil- 
related inflows ”, Mr Bodner, 
formerly the federal reserve 
bank of New York’s deputy 
special manager for the open 
market account, said. 



Call for building societies 
to look at rental scheme 


jy Margaret Stone 
? Mr Tim Tiraberlake, the 
hief general manager of the 
ftbey National Building 
jociety, has called for a con¬ 
querable widening of the 
WHenr narrow financial func- 
Ions of building societies. 

•.In au article in the current 
isoe nF the quarterly journal 
F the Building Societies Insti- 
ite,' lie argues that the socie- 
es base of operations is verv 
arrow indeed and could be use- 
dly widened to include the 
rovision of rented accommnda- 
on. 

Mr Timbcrlake went an to 
:y that with the virtual disap- 
strance of the private land- 
rd and consequently the need 
r advances on investment pro- 
Tty, the building societies 
uld take on some means of 
oviding rented accommoda- 
10 . 

"I would have thought”, he 
ded, M that we were probably 
Pre experienced and far more 
le-to do this than some of the 


agencies which are presently 
doing it.” 

Another building society, the 
Wholwich Equitable, yesterday 
came out against an increase in 
interest ratfes. The previous day, 
Mr Leonard Hyde, general 
manager of the Leeds Perman¬ 
ent, said that he saw litcJe like¬ 
lihood of mortgage interest rate 
going up despite the extreme 
pressure on operating margins 
which all building societies are 
experiencing. 

Mr Alexander Afeikle, the 
chairman of the Woolwich, 
said: "We don’t have any im¬ 
mediate intention of either in- 
• creasing the rates to investors 
nor do .we have the slightest 
intention of increasing the run¬ 
ning rate to our borrowers.”' 

The Woolwich reported two 
milestones passed yesterday. At 
the eud of its financial year 
assets rose from £923m. to 
£ 1,048 m. topping the £l,000m 
mark for the first time. Tn addi¬ 
tion the society .now has over 
one million members.

Insurance groups mount rescue operations 
for Jessel and Edward Bates offshoots 


Mr Rowland Wright: elected 
next chairman by tbe 1CT 
board. 


ICI board 
elects new 
chairman 

By Peter Hill 

Sir Jack Callard, chairman of 
Imperial Chemical Industries. 
Britain’s largest private sector 
industrial organization, is to 
retire next April. 

The announcement was made 
by the group yesterday at the 
cnairman’s request. It was 
being emphasized that there 
was no significance in the 
announcement .since it con¬ 
firmed Sir Jack’s stated inten¬ 
tion to retire at the end of his 
four years -service contract. 

He will be succeeded by Mr 
Rowland Wright, one of the 
group’s three deputy chairmen, 
who was elected at a meeting 
of the ICI board yesterday. Mr 
Wright will take over the run¬ 
ning of the group at a particu¬ 
larly critical time against the 
background of government 
plans for increased state 
intervention in industry. 

Increased government inter¬ 
vention is a subject which 
thrust Sir Tack into a contro¬ 
versy in the run up to the 
General Election when, in a 
letter to employees and share¬ 
holders, he warned of the 
“ great dangers ” inherent in 
government intervention in the 
management and day to day 
running of business. 

One of the highest paid 
executives in British industry 
with a salary of £65,695. Sir 
Jack has been closely involved 
in the expansion and develop¬ 
ment of ICI’s business overseas 
where sales in the first quarter 
of this year accounted for two 
thirds of the record pre-tax 
quarterly profit of Zi22m.

SE calls for 
further £350 
from members 

By Our Financial Staff 

Each member of The Stock 
Exchange is going to have to 
pay a further £350 to top up 
the compensation fund which 
guarantees investors against 
losses arising from stock brok¬ 
ing failure*. This follows the 
demise of six stockbroking 
firms since mid-1973, and the 
£350 is additional to calls so 
far this year of £300. 

The Stock Exchange had 
given a warning that a further 
£100 would probably be neces¬ 
sary to top up the fuDd. though 
detailed figures and the failure 
of another firm, Tustain 
L’Estrange, recently has led to 
the present demand which will 
produce around £1.5m. 

The idea is that this will be 
enough to meet all possible 
liabilities and leave tbe fund 
standing at around Elm. How¬ 
ever. . 

Shares inquiry: The Stock 
| Exchange _ is bolding an 
| inquiry into dealings in 
the shares of tif Manchester 
Liners, the North Atlantic con¬ 
tainers!] ip operator. During 
September and the 'early days 
of October. EuroCanadian Ship- 
' holdings purchased just under 
30 per cent of the equity in 
Manchester Liners, which is 
controJled by Furness Withy 
with its holding of 62 per cent. 

After acquiring around 29 
per ■ cent of the equity, Euro- 
Canadian extended its offer to 
cover . all the publicly-hetd' 
shares in Manchester Liners.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND 
VACANCIES 

The following are the monthly 
figures for Great Britain released 
by the Department of Employ¬ 
ment yesterday^_ 


1 By John P/ender and 
Margaret Stone 

A rescue operation is to be 
mounted fur London Indemnity 
and General Insurance, the 
Jessel Securities insurance off¬ 
shoot which was revealed tu be 
technically insolvent last iveek- 
And the decision of London and 
Manchester Insurance to buy 
Welfare Insurance from Edward 
Bates, should effectively, put an 
end to the run on Welfare. 

Edward Bates & Sons (Hold¬ 
ings) is expected to incur a book 
loss of nearly £9!m on the sale 
of Welfare Insurance to London 
and Manchester. Under provisio¬ 
nal heads of agreement, rhe 
financial and banking group is 
required to inject £2m of fresh 
capital into its troubled insur¬ 
ance subsidiary. London and 


Manchester wifi then pay 
£50,000 for the share capital of 
Welfare. 

News of the takeover follows 
the announcement last week that 
Bates had entered negotiations 
with Lon'don and Manchester. 
Earlier, the Department of 
Trade had issued statutory 
warning that it might. stop 
Welfare wiring new business. 

Tbe talks were given added 
urgency when it was revealed 
last week that London Indem¬ 
nity wqs the subject of a rescue 
operation. This prompted a rush 
of redemptions at Welfare. 
Nearly £40m of its E67m life 
fund at December 31. 1973 con¬ 
sisted of guaranteed growth and. 
income bonds. 

Since then the value of the 
life fund has fallen to around 
£50m while redemptions have 
reduced the total growth and 


income bond figure to less than 
£30ra. 

Last night Mr Lewis Whyte, 
chairman of London and Man¬ 
chester, said that news of the 
takeover negotiations had 
largely put a stop to redemp¬ 
tions at Welfare. 

He emphasized rhar the De¬ 
partment of Trade had been 
kept informed and that its pro¬ 
visional threat to_ stop Welfare 
writing new business was ex¬ 
pected to lapse on completion 
of tbe takeover. Pending com¬ 
pletion of the deal London and 
Manchester will exercise *’ a 
general oversight ” of Welfare's 
business. 

Talks between the two com¬ 
panies began in July but foun¬ 
dered because London and Man¬ 
chester was not prepared to 
pay Bates's asking price. After 
the General Election talks with 


a prospective American pur¬ 
chaser fell through 

In a statement yesterday Bates 
said that the interests ’ nt its 
own shareholder* and deposi¬ 
tors. and Welfare's 1G0.UO0 
policy holders “ could only ajl 
be protected permanently if 
Welfare was ro be taken over 
by a major life office in ;; way 
which would entirely safeguard 
tlte bank and ensure that 110 
pressures on the hank's liquidity 
could arise.” 

Bates is tu finance its 12m 
capital injection into Welfare 
by arranging for n number of 
institutions to subscribe for £2m 
of 10-year loan stock with option 
warrants. The terms have yet 
to be agreed. 

It will also maintain .111 in¬ 
terest in Welfare by taking one 
quarter of a deterred capital of 
Welfare which will be created. 


30 companies to cover London Indemnity’s policies 


Good news fur tbe 80,000 
policyholders in London 
Indemnity and General Insur¬ 
ance is that some 30 insurance 
companies, including Commer¬ 
cial Union, the Prudential and 
Hambro Life. have, subject to 
certain conditions being ful¬ 
filled .agreed to meet most of 
the LIGPs obligations to policy¬ 
holders. 

Fur guaranteed income- 
bondholders, the largest class 
of policyholder, Tbe rescue con¬ 
sortium'has agreed to meet the 
maturity and income benefits 
attached tn the bonds. How¬ 
ever, existing guaranteed 
surrender values will be 
replaced with the going 
actuarial surrender value. 

Other nolicybolders of LIGI 
will also ' be protected. 


Annuitants, however, will have 
to accept an across-tbe-board 
reduction of 10 per cent in 
their income benefits. 

Holders of regular premium 
contracts—unit-linked assur¬ 
ance—linked to Jessel 

Britannia unit trusts—will lose 
surrender guarantees but this 
will not affect their right to 
cash in their policies when they 
wish. 

The process of events is that 
LIGI will be placed into 
liquidation so' that the courts, 
under the Insurance Companies 
Amendment Act. 1973, can 
appoint a special manager to 
look after the interests of the 
policyholders by running the 
company on a going hnsis until 
a purchaser can be found. 

The' rescue consortium will 


then seek to take over the 
assets of LIGI provided that a 
detailed investigation of the 
company's assets and liabilities 
is not ’materially different the 
situation as the consortium 
understands it. 

Included in the assets of the 
company will be the £6m claim 
on Jessel Securities. This debt 
will ultimately have to be dis¬ 
charged, but at this stage it is 
not known when the rescue 
consortium will be insisting 
upon repayment. 

Mr Mark Weinberg, manag¬ 
ing director of Hambro Life, 
who has coordinated tbe rescue 
operation for LIGI. stressed last 
night that the decision to bail 
out LIGI was not an open- 
ended commitment for the life 
insurance industry to rescue 


anv company which ran into 
difficulties. 

He said : “ This was a clean 
case subject 10 rivcr-penormiv. 
benefits.'' He refuted criticism 
that policyholders with less 
generous- benefits from policies 
in safer companies were sub- 
>idi?ing the greedy, by pnim- 
out our that the rates fur LIGI 
annuitants had been trimmed 
in addition to income bond¬ 
holders losing their generous 
surrender values. 

Although there »■? every like¬ 
lihood that the LI GI rescue 
operation will proceed as 
planned, there are no signs that 
the. insurance industry is. pre¬ 
pared to backtrack a nd t ry 
aagin to affect a rescue for 
Nation Life Insurance, 
currently in liquidation. 


White House hints of 
tougher measures 


BP confirms its fourth 
hig oil find in N Sea 


From Frank Vogl 
Washington, Oct 24 

White House officials are 
stressing that the Administra¬ 
tion is willing to be flexible on 
such matters as the proposed 
5 per cent tax rise. President 
Ford, they say, has still not 
ruled out the possibility that 
tough legislation may be needed 
to reduce oil imports. 

Mr William Seidman, the 
President’s chief economic 
policy coordinator, stated in a 
television interview last night 
that the President was deter¬ 
mined to work with the 
Congress to find “a sound basis 
for an economic recovery ” and 
that it might be necessary to . 
change some of his recent 
legislative proposals. 

Other White House officials 
sav that a second and tougher 
package of economic measures 
may have to be announced 
before too long. No one expects, 
however, that the'President will 
change the present programme 
before the elections on Novem¬ 
ber 5. 

To the charge that the 
Administration is doing very 
little to counter the recession, 
Mr Seidman noted that Presi¬ 
dent Ford has advocated direct 
aid to the housing industry, an 
expanded unemployment insur¬ 
ance scheme, a public works 


programme and tax relief for 
low' income groups. He sug¬ 
gested that if the slump gets 
worse the President might be 
prepared to modify his demands 
for a 5 per cent rise in income 
taxes. 

Mr Seidman admitted that it 
would be unrealistic to quarrel 
with those who maintained 
there was a recession but that 
“ our problem is that we have 
staflation. . . . There is just no 
quick fix to the problems and 
tbe President is biting tbe 
bullet by not going for 
gimmicks.” 

He also argued that there was 
evidence that oil consumption 
was being reduced owing to the 
voluntary appeals 

But other White House 
officials concede that there may 
soon be no alternative to tough 
legislative action to reduce oil 
imports further. 

What is becoming apparent is 
that ihere is now active con¬ 
sideration being given for 
tougher policies 

This will involve the President 
going further towards meeting 
the demands of Democratic 
leaders f<v swifter action to 
alleviate the hardship of the 
inflation on low income earners, 
further expansion of public 
works programmes and tougher 
action on the energy front. 


By Roger Vielvoye 

British Petroleum has con¬ 
firmed that it has found its 
fourth large oil field in the 
North Sea. It is named Andrew 
and is 145 miles north-east of 
Aberdeen. 

Indications of oil were found 
on block 16/28 io June aud BP 
has completed a test prograntme 
that has confirmed the discovery 
as an oilfield. 

In a statement the company 
said : “ A substantial thickness 
of oil saturated sands has been 
penetrated and oil.was tested at 
a flow rate of 5.000 barrels a 
day through a one inch choke. 
The results indicate the exist¬ 
ence of an oilfield.” 

Tbe structure drilled by BP 
extends into the adjoining block 
16/27 which is held by a group 
headed by Phillips Petroleum. 

About 60 miles south-east of 
the discovery is the Forties field 
which BP hopes to have in pro¬ 
duction next year. BP has also 
discovered the Ninian field (in 
association with Burmah) and 
tbe Magnus field. * 

Dearer petrol likely: Motorists 
may have to pay at least lOp a 
gallon more for petrol shortly, 
so that industry can be shielded 
from another crippling increase 
in their fuel bills. 


As it became clear that.the 
Government favoured petrol 
carrying the entire burden of 
recent crude oil prices, repre¬ 
sentatives of the oil producers 
and the consuming nations were 
holding separate discussions on 
prices and emergency supplies. 

The oil companies are faring 
increased crude custs which if 
’spread across all oil products 
would average nut at 3p to 4p a 
gallon. 

If the entire burden was 
shifted to petrol, ir would mean 
an increase of 8p a gallon plus 
VAT. It is thought that the 
Government would adjust the 
pricing mechanism to round-up 
rhe price increase at lOp a gal¬ 
lon. 

A number of nil companies 
arc thought to be close to 
presenting a case for higher 
prices to the Price Commission. 
But it will he the Government 
that finally decides how much 
petrol and paraFfin prices may 
rise, through its control of ihe 
retail price of both products. 

In Vienna technical experts 
from the Organization of 
Petroleum Exporting Countries 
(OPEC) are thought to have 
agreed on a new pricing system 
for crude oil that would replace 
the present system of posted 
prices, buy-back prices and 
auctions. 


Hill Samuel 
rejects 
proposals on 
Herstatt 

Ey Christopher Wilkins 
Banking Correspondent 

Hill Samuel has derided to 
reject che revised settlement 
proposals for creditors involved 
in rhe Herstatt Bank collapse. In 
a stateaii*n 1 yc<rerd:»y the b3nk 
described the scheme as ''un¬ 
acceptable to Hill Samuel in its 
present form ”. 

However, the merchant hank 
alio revealed tli .11 its eventual 
losses, assuming tin* present 
proposals went ahead, could he 
as little as £2.7m out of total 
claims of £9ni t reduced 10 £S.2m 
! including a deposit held (ram 
I Herstatt). 

) This am mint falls to only 
£l-8m after United Kingdom tax 
relief, and Hill Samuel has 
wrir:en this autumn off its inner 
reserves. 

Tlte bank lus been jn.ncd in 
its rejection by the German 
Budischc Rciiii mu nale L.uidcs- 
b.tnk. which sa d yesterday that 
it did no: favour an agreed 
settlement with creditors in the 
liquidation of Hers’.alt and will 
press (or bankruptcy proceed- 
I ings to begin. 

For the revised proposals to 
he approved, the support ut all 
banks and local authorities and 
9.> per cent of other creditors is 
required. So, nliiiuugh Hill 
Samuel has not yet laid the 
independent negotiator of its 
posit, on. ihe scheme would 
appear to be d.>;:med. 

it lias recently become clear 
that there are few points upon 
which rhe creditors can agree. 
The first settlement proposal 
was rejected by local authorities 
in Germany, but when tlieir 
share of the proposed repav- 
1 meins, together with that of 
German banks and non-bank 
creditors, was raised, it brought 
fresh objections from foreign 
bank creditors. The repayment 
offered to foreign banks has 
remained constant at 53 per 
cent, but Hill Samuel and others 
have argued that those banks 
which were caught in spot for¬ 
eign exchange deals ought to 
receive mure. 

Hill Samuel has alsn been 
concerned ahnut Uie proposal 
that all claims, including actions 
brought by itself and First 
National City Bank in the 
United States, should be aban¬ 
doned. 

These claims involve Hill 
Samuel in interpleader proceed¬ 
ings started by Chase Manhattan 
Bank which has sought the 
direction of the United States 
courts over the disposal of 
5160m (nearly £69m) which it 
holds for Herstarr's account. 

Kill Samuel is also now in¬ 
volved in legga-l proceedings in 
Germany against the Federal 
Bank on the grounds that the 
bank failed to exercise due care 
in its handling of rhe withdrawal 
of Hcrstart’s banking licence.

Neddy help urged for social contract 


By Maurice Carina 
Industrial Editor 

A suggestion that the 
National Economic Develop¬ 
ment Council bo called in 10 
ielp strengthen the social con¬ 
tract came last night from Mr 
Ronald McIntosh, director gen¬ 
era! of the Neddy office. 

" His appeal for a new tripar¬ 
tite dialogue between Govern¬ 
ment, management and trade 
uaions comes ahead of nexr 
week’s council meeting, the first 
since the election and the Prime 
Minister’s separate talks with 
the CBI and TUC about the 
priorities for economic strategy. 

In Bristol, Mr McIntosh 
spoke of “ a deep, and wide¬ 
spread scepticism about our 
ability,, as a country, to follow 
a consistent economic strategy 
for more than quite shorr 
periods ”, 


Many people on both sides 
of industry had had their 
fingers badly burnt—often 
more than once—by abrupt 
changes in governmental policy, 
unpredictable cuts in public 
spendings, and share fluctua¬ 
tions in economic activity. 

What was now needed was a 
realistic strategy, which had the 
broad assent of management and 
unions, for getting through tbe 
next three to four years ro 
minimize the risk of having to 
rake short-term action 
_ While government had a par¬ 
ticular responsibility to make 
judgments, experience had 
shown that it needed the broad 
support of management and 
unions. 

“ For this reason, I believe it 
would be timely and helpful, if 
the parties to the NED council 
were to try to reach agreement

CBI chief calls for 
sacrifices all round 


By Ronald Kershaw 
Northern Industrial 
Correspondent 

A call for a combined effort 
from employers, trade unions 
and the Government to pm 
aside thcii differences and all 
make sacrifices to help Britain 
overcome its economic prob¬ 
lems was made by Mr R.^ AI. 
Bateman, president of the Con¬ 
federation of British I ndustry, 
at the annual conference of ihe 
Institute of Personnel Manage¬ 
ment at Harrogate vesterdav. 

Mr Bateman said the CBI and 
the Government had more in 
common than they had differ¬ 
ences. “Neither of us wants 
statutory pay control, high un¬ 
employment'or low investment. 

" Both of us want a thriving 
and profitable private sector 
Bnd the prospect oF a better 
economic and social framework 
based on rising production and 
productivity. 


“ IVp must seek to build 
upmi rhese areas of agreement 
and put aside nur differences. 
The message is that companies, 
the trade unions and the 
Government must all make 
sacrifices in order to help the 
nation overcome the situation.'’ 

Companies had already made 
their contribution, . prices had 
been kept down by statute for 
so long that many companies 
had reached the point where 
they could not go on. Employ¬ 
ees, too had paid their part of 
the price bv accepting statutory 
pay control for 20 months. 

The inflationary spiral had 
yet to be defeated. If we were 
to avoid the statutory control 
of incomes a workable and 
effective volunrarv system must 
be produced. The Government 
must inin with the rest in scal¬ 
ing down their expectations.

NFU warning against 
‘fragmentation’ risk 
in transfer tax scheme 


By Hu gif Clayton 

Concerted opposition to the 
proposed capital transfer -tax 
came yesterday from the 
National Farmers’ . Union and 
its counterparts in Scotland and 
Northern Ireland. 

They said in a joint submis¬ 
sion to Mr Healey, the 
Chancellor, that any such tax 
must be formulated so as not 
to lead to fragmentation of 
farms. 1 

Tlie Forestry Committee of 
Great Britain said the transfer 
tax combined with the proposed 
wealth tax would destroy the 
private forestry sector tn 
Britain. Its members produce 
more than 8 per cent of the 
nation’s timber - and timber 
product needs. . 

The Earl of Lonsdale, 
chairman of the committee, 
said yesterdayIf these 
measures go through.there will 
be no more private tree plant¬ 
ing, die existing woodlands will 


be threatened with felling *o 
meet tax liabilities and the 
British public will lose the 
amenity value of our wood-' 
land. 

“The cost of imported 
timber and products reached a 
record £l,300m in 1973 and this 
will rise because more and 
more overseas industries want 
to sell us manufactured limber 
products instead of raw 
timber 

The farming unions told Mr 
Healey; “ Because of the low 
rare of return obtained from 
agricultural land, we believe 
chat any capital transfer tax 
assessment should be based nn 
the earning ability of the land 
rather than its open market 
value *’. ■ 

They asked for Further talks 
with the Government and 
pointed out that the personal 
taxation of fanners with sut> 
stan rial assets was already 
higher in Britain than else¬ 
where in Europe. 


By Clifford Webb 

Imperial Metal Industries 
yesterday told 1.000 craftsmen 

that.their'three-week-old unoffi¬ 
cial strike had cost the company 
more than £Gm in output and 
was endangering the jobs of all 
6,1)00 workers at the factors in 
Witton, Birmingham. 

Production has been at a 
standstill since the first two 
days of the strike which was 
called in support of a £15-a- 
week pay claim. The remaining 
5,000 workpeople are laid off. 

Witton is I Mi’s largest and 
most important manufacturing 
complex housing the largest 
sporting ammunition factory in 
the counrry. the only titanium- 
producing plant for the aero¬ 
space industries, one of the 
most modern copper strip, 
sheet and wire mills in Europe 
and other plants producing zip- 
fasteners. engineering compo¬ 
nents and plastic taps. The 
company is refusing to resume 
pay talks until the craftsmen 
return to work. 

Koreans place 
£7m orders in 
UK for car plant 

By Edward Townsend 

Hyundai Motors, the South 
Korean company setting up a 
new car manufacturing plant 
and investing up to £17m in 
British equipment and com¬ 
ponents. has already ordered 
£7m worth from British com¬ 
panies. it was revealed yester- 
dav. 

Mr George Turnbull, the ex¬ 
managing director nf British 
Leyland and now vice-president 
of Hyundai Motors, said in 
London, that this included con¬ 
tracts worth several hundred 
thousand pounds placed with 
about eight British machine 
tool companies. 

Other companies involved in 
the £42m project are CAV. the 
Lucas subsidiary. Girling. Auto¬ 
motive Products and Burman 
and Sons. 

Although the South Korean 
plant is not yet built, a pro¬ 
totype of Hyundai’s new 1300cc 
family saloon is to be unveiled 
at the Turin motor show in 
Italy next week.

Scientists 
look to sea 
for energy 

By Kenneth Owen, 

Technology Correspondent 

Harnessing the tidal power of 
the Bristol Channel could supply 
about 12 per cent of Britain's 
present electricity demand at a 
cost which might now be 
economic, according to 
scientists of the Central Elec- 

This was reported yesterday 
at a symposium at the Central 
Electricity Research Labora¬ 
tories, Leatberbead, Surrey. A 
detailed study would be 
necessary . before firm costs 
could be calculated. 

In an assessment of the poten¬ 
tial of natural energy sources, 
the conference^ was told that 
there was sufficient energy in 
the waves of .the sea to supply 
most of our needs for most of 
the time if a satisfactory method 
could be found to harness and 
store it. 

But the practical difficulties 
were daunting and the costs, ar 
present appeared uncompetitive. 
Nevertheless, a research pro¬ 
gramme was justified, because 
of the enormous potential bene¬ 
fits. 

Wind power was another 
possibility.

From David Cross 
Brussels, Oct 24 

Now that prospects are 
brighter for a start to substan¬ 
tive multilateral trade talks in 
Geneva early next year, the 
European Commission is 
anxious that the European Com¬ 
munity should amplify its 
negotiating position. 

At a press conference in 
Brussels today. Sir Christopher 
Soames, the commissioner for 
external affairs, said it was 
essential to get the. negotiations 
under way as soon as possible. 

To achieve this aim, the com¬ 
mission yesterday approved a 
new draft proposal, updating 
and expanding the general 
guidelines for the talks which 
the community approved more 
than a year ago. Since rhen the 
talks have been held up 
because the United States Con¬ 
gress has refused to authorize 
its administration to pursue 
negotiations further. 

Tn the new proposal there is 
now much more emphasis on 
the problem of export restric¬ 
tions in a world economy 
increasingly characterized by 
insecurity of supplies. 


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 


Comparisons 

From Mr R. W. Evans:. 

Sir. David McCormick 
(October 18) lias beaten me to 
it. but I fee! I must now put 
pen to paper regarding the 
continual reference to costs of 
certain goods and services to 
our friends on the Continent 
being expressed as the sterling 
equivalent based on current 
cates of exchange- 

Kenneth Gosling (Home 
News, October 16) falls into 
the same trap by expressing 
the cost of a television licence 
in Denmark as £42257 and Hol¬ 
land CJ7, but this is simply- not 
true. The cost is D. Kroner 600 
and D.Fls. 10S respectively, 
and to the Dane or Dutchman, 
is most certainly not expensive 
bearing in mind their higher 
standard of living generally. 

Does Mr Gosling think that 
as the rate of exchange against 
the Dutch florin has changed 
from 10 to the pound to 6.25 
to the pound the cost of a 
Dutch television licence has- 
gone up from £10 £17? Of 

course it has nor—it was 
FIs. 108 some years ago and 
stilt is. 

The same ridiculous basis is 
perpetrated time and again by 
irresponsible commentators of 
the Continental scene, particu¬ 
larly regarding petrol prices. 
We all know it costs a’ British 
holidaymaker far more to buy 
a gallon of petrol in France as 
he has to use precious francs 
purchased with heavily deva¬ 
lued sterling, but to the 
Frenchman, Dutchman or Ger¬ 
man the cost is nothing like 
the figures bandied about in 
the press—the cost to them is 
roughly the same as our 55p a 
gallon. 

May 1 suggesr that the 
media recognizes this fact and 
uses for comparison purposes 


with continental costs 


exchange rates of say D.Fls. 8.5 
and DM8 equals £1 for in¬ 
stance, in'ordef to arrive at a 
more equitable comparison. 
Also it ;is interesting to com¬ 
pare the cost to us ui sterling 
for a tourist return air fare 
London/Rotterdam .{£44) and 
the same journey for a Dutch¬ 
man (D.Fls.348). 

I would add that sugar was 
about the same price in 
Bremen last week. (DM 1.10 & 
kg) as the price in my local 
supermarket (15-ip. for 21b of 
English granulated). Once 
again this confounds the 
media, who make uninformed 
criticism of how much more 
expensive sugar is.on the Con¬ 
tinent, whereas although the 
prices mentioned above are 
roughly comparable (taking 
DM 6.10-to £ 1 ), it is in fact 
cheaper for the Germans, who 
enjoy far higher wages/sal¬ 
aries. etc.

From Mr Hans Wolff 
Sir, The dispute between Pro¬ 
fessor Balfour and Mr- McCor¬ 
mick about the value of a 50 
pfennigs stamp to a German 
resident would never have 
arisen if more were known 
about the work of the EEC 
and, incidentally, about the 
standard oF living in real 
terms in other countries. 

The EEC recognises that the 
normal rate of exchange can¬ 
not reasonably be used to 
make comparisons of real costs 
in different countries. It there¬ 
fore calculates a monthly 
“ consumer parity ” rate from - 
the respective cost of living 


indices jo£ its member ctnm- 
. tries. ' 

The. rate for the United 
Kingdom and western . Ger¬ 
many, determined in January, 
1974, was DM 8.94 to the E 
inSLead of approximately DM 6. 

Unfortunately this i£ not a 
theoretical value; it is being 
used throughout the current 
year for certain practical inter¬ 
national calculations such as 
concern people entitled to soc¬ 
ial security benefits front both 
countries, naturally - to the dis¬ 
advantage of British residents. 

As to the comparable cost of 
a 50- pfennigs stamp, this 
would appear to be to the 
German resident.

From Professor Michael Bal¬

Sic, The . logic of Mr McCor¬ 
mick’s letter (October IS) is 
that, since our yardsticks are 
imperfect, we should draw no 
comparisons. 

All the same, I still think we 
would do well to realize that, 
by the exchange rate governing 
our current trade, our external 
postal rate is almost half the 
internal rate of another 
country. For it suggests to me 
that we are getting our postage 
on the cheap, which may help 
to explain why our letters are 
slow to arrive.

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 




BY THE FINANCIAL EDITOR 


Compensation: the 
proper alternative 


Another call of E350 to top 
up The Stock Exchange com- 
peosaetnn fund—a sum incident¬ 
ally which I find hard to 
believe surprises many mem¬ 
bers although it may embarrass 
a few—has been followed by 
another outcry about the 
inequities of financing the fund 
in this way. London inherited 
rhe call system from country 
exchanges _ on amalgamation, 
and the gripe is over whether 
she majority ’ ' 


help so far from the falling 
na *J jra l rubber price. 

Outside the United Kingdom 
there have been good perform¬ 
ances from most of Dunlop’s 
Union subsidiaries—the price, 
of course, being a sharp rise io 
minorities that cuts the advance 
at the attributable level to 2J 
Per cent to £S.51m—but any 
benefit from what have 
generally been strong perform¬ 
ances by the Pirelli associates

incompetence, bad luck or 
worse of the few who go under 
owing investors monev. 

This time, though,‘the situa¬ 
tion is a little different in that 
Tbe Stock Exchange Council is 
listening. Apparently a studv 
is underway to see whether 
alternative ways of financing 
the fund are possible. At this 
point there appear to be two 
runners; either releasing part 
or all of the £70m or so book 
profit on the new Stock 
Exchange building or devising 
some sort of corporate insurance 
scheme. 

Either of these alternatives 
may have superficial attractions 
—though a sale-and-lease¬ 
back arrangement on the build¬ 
ing would present capital gains 
tax and Trust Deed problems. 
But the question might be 
whether change is necessary at 
ajl, and that there is a danger 
of change for change’s sake 
because of reaction in tbe heat 
of the moment from members 
who arc understandably sore at 
having paid out £650 in a year 
when some of them were 
wondering where the next 
pound or penny was coming 
from. 

Perhaps members should 
he more concerned with tbe 
efforts now being made to 
avoid failures and question 
whether even tighter controls 
by the council are necessary. 
Certainly, tbe evidence suggests 
that the council’s new system 
of quarterly liquidity checks 
under which member firms have 
o satisfy - a council committee 
tnd if necessary The Stock 
exchange auditors that they 
ire maintaining set levels oF 
liquidity is working.

As for the second half, Dun¬ 
lop is sticking to a cautious line 
and predicting a similar net 
figure to the first half— 
compared with some £6.4m 
(excluding rubber dealing 
losses) for July-December, 
1973. That kind of caution 
is hardly surprising at this stage, 
and the shares at 32p on a pro¬ 
spective p/e of under 3 and a 
yield of 15.6 (assuming a main - 
tauied gross payout for the year) 
are already signalling that there 
is unlikely to be much to look 
forward to in 1975-

Welfare 

Paying for 
the privilege 

To find a buyer for an insurance 
company today is no mean feat. 
But Edward Bares is 
undoubtedly paying for the 
privilege. It will be required to 
make the second injection of 
£2m into Welfare since it 
bought the company last year 
for £5jm, taking the potential 
book loss up to nearly £9£m. 
And while that still eaves it 
with a net asset value of around 
80p and a liquidity ratio in the 
bank in excess of 30 per cent 
of deposits, the clear implica¬ 
tion is that it will have to go 
through the formalities of writ¬ 
ing down the share premium 
account. 

There is, in addition, some 
uncertainty for the share price 
—down lp to 35p yesterday— 
until the terms of its £2m of 
10 -year loan stock are known. 
It would be surprising if these 
were generous to Bates. As for 
its deferred capital in Welfare, 
this is very much a long shot 
since it will nor see a return 
nob'! rhe insurance company's 
distributable income amounts to 
£100,000 and the net worth 
reaches £lm. 


slackening, but confined so far 
tn rescheduling 
A yield of 11.4 per cent with 
the shares 21 p down yesterday 
at 43?p may be little more than 
average these days, but what 

does provide some stimulus is 
that the p/'e ratio of 2.7 is 
buoyed up by a satisfactory first 
quarter, with the later prospect 
o£ lower interest charges partly 
offsetting the possible slacken 
mg in business.

Sales £313m (£72_4m) 

Pre-tax profits £ 15.5m (110.1m)

UBM 

Margins under 
pressure 

A 26 per cenr drop in UBM 
Group's interim pre-tax profits 
looks savage given a 61 per cent 
sales rise. But the explanation 
lies partly in the 10 per cent cut 
in gross margins it has had to 
make on the retail side since 
May. 

Inevitably there is a gearing 
effect between gross margin 
reductions and the effect on net 
(pre-tax) margins and ITEM'S 
are over two points down at the 
interim. Even so, they have 
probably not fallen far enough 
for UBM to claim relief under 
the prices code. So, the hope 
most be for some early official 
relaxation in the gross margin 
position. UBM*s sales rise masks 
a near 15 per cent fall in volume 
in line wi£h the general building 
industry decline and UBM is 
not looking for any real im¬ 
provement here until late 1975. 

Fortunately, sales to small 
builders seem to be holding up 
quite well and the high cash 
content of these is helping the 
working capital position. Selec¬ 
tive stock and staff reductions 
as well as deferment of capital 
spending is helping too. Even so, 
the virtual doubling of interim 
bank interest charges to around 
£lm reflects a heavily borrowed 
position. If UBM is right in be¬ 
lieving that the fall in order 
volume has bottomed out^ then 
profits of around £6m (against 
£7.75m) might be looked for this 
year. Unmoved by yesterday’s 
news, the shares at 31p are 
probably on a prospective p/e 
ratio of about 4J and will need 
what support they can get from 
a 20 per cent yield to see them 
through a tough period.

ceding year’s pre-tax profits question marks surrounding HOI 
momentum with a 52 per cent Samuel this year, so it is some- 
improvement to £15.5m. The thing that the interim state- 
catch lies below the line where ment lays two bogeys. The Her- 
tbe advance, following a £1.6m start writedown seems likely to 
rise in minorities to £3.3m, has be restricted to only £1.8m after 
been cut to a 24 per cent gain. 

Moreover. _ thanks to metal 
prices peaking in the early 
spring, interest charges in rhe 
second half escalated from the 
first six months* £293,000 to 
£589,000. And with a three- 
month rime-lag between pur¬ 
chase and selling processed 
materials, year end bank bor¬ 
rowings have shot up from 
£2.Gm to over £10m—equivalent 
to 40 per cent of shareholders’ 
funds. The snag now is that 
while the copper price is cur¬ 
rently around £450 below tbe 
average for the_ six. months to 
July, tax and dividend payments 
will ensure that high interest 
charges continue during the 
first half of the present finan¬ 
cial year. _ , , - . 

In trading terms South Africa 
saw a strong volume trend 
across the board last year—a 
picture mirrored in New Zea¬ 
land, where 25 per cent of the

at the year end. Although de¬

United Kingdom, both for semi- 
manufacture and finished pro¬

'efying the 
issimists 

i really pleasant surprise 
ome cheering interim figures 
n Dunlop yesterday was that 
United Kingdom end of the 
iness has done so well. The 
ip bad, after all, made no 
et of the fact that the three- 
week had left home opera- 
* in Joss for the first two 
ihs of the year. But since 
there has clearly been a 
fderable recovery and, 
ita an industry fall of some 
!r cent in the original equip- 
: market and 3 per cenr in 
icemeot, domestic operating 
its for the first half have

January-June 1973. 
ice increases have obviously 
sd their part here, but at 
ame time demand has been 
lg both on the export and 
•trial/consumer product 
a True, home profits are 
i post a £2™3m rise in in- 
t charges (to £11.Sin), bur 
fact that only £600,000 of 
increase represents interest 
iighcr borrowings, up by 
than £5m on a year ago, 
zsts that working capital is 
t kept on a right rein— 
»ut presumably that much 


tax relief; and the insurance 
and shipping group, despite the 
difficult conditions for the life 
assurance industry, has been 
moving ahead in all divisions 

Since commercial banking is 
holding steady despite a con¬ 
traction in the loan portfolio, 
a bigger contraction in deposits 
and a much higher degree of 
liquidity, it is clear from the 
forecast of a post-tax downturn 
of a • third (before exchange 
adjustments) how rough the go¬ 
ing has been for merchant 
banking. 

Is the United Kingdom 
corporate finance has remained 
relatively buoyant thanks to a 
good flow of small-sized merger 
business. But investment man¬ 
agement has. barely broken even 
and there have been hefty redac¬ 
tions in the etjuity portfolio. 

None of this can be calcu¬ 
lated to do much for the shares, 
still only a shade above their 
year's low at 36p, but with earn¬ 
ings from insurance and ship¬ 
ping now amounting to more 
than half the total H il l Samuel 
can at least boast a resilience 


Long-term fund needed to stimulate 
investment by industry 


Six months alter a Budget 
which imposed heavy taxes on 
illusory corporate gams for lar¬ 
gely political reasons, the auth¬ 
orities now sealize that ip the 
face of ( rising unemployment 
and their own grim financial 
statistics, they will have to im¬ 
prove industry’s position. 

But whatever the Chancellor 
now decides to do. it is clear 
that it can be little more than 
the pouring of extremely 
expensive oil on to the trou¬ 
bled waters of recession. The 


the banking system by the in¬ 
stitutions in order to achieve 
some of the best returns cur¬ 
rently available, there is no 
cause for concern about the 
volume of funds available for 
industry. But these funds are 
essentially short-term. 

They cannot be lent to com¬ 
panies which are unable to 
repay for some time and. will 
effectively lock the banks into 
die position of lending short¬ 
term money for long periods. 
If banks ore asked .to prD- 


truth is that inflationary pres- vide short-term money to un- 


surcs and political indifference 
have put great strains an Bri¬ 
tain’s industrial, financial and 
social structure. 

What are these industrial, 
f inanci al and social strains ? 

Industry’s problems have 
been well enough publicized to 
be appreciated even by the 
Government. High raw mate¬ 
rial costs, enormous wage 
demands, increased corporation 
tax and an advanced corpora¬ 
tion tax surcharge, combined 
with strict price controls, and 
a taxation and accounting sys¬ 
tem which makes no allowance 
for inflation, have squeezed in¬ 
dustrial profits to unpreceden¬ 
tedly low levels. 

Reduced profits show up not 
only in the profit and loss 
account^ but also outside the 
Employment Exchange. 

The inflationary pressures 
which are crippling industry 
have also hit the saver and the 
institutions which convert sav¬ 
ings into funds for investment. 
Since the retained profits 
which industry traditionally 
relies on to finance investment 
and current expenditure have 
been substantially reduced, in¬ 
dustry has become incr easing ly 
dependent on the funds sup¬ 
plied by banks and the institu¬ 
tions. 

But these normal sources of 
external funds are now either 
drying up or being diverted 
into a form unsuitable for 
lending to industrial companies 
which are already highly 
geared. But banks and the in¬ 
stitutions, such _ as life 
assurance companies and pen¬ 
sion funds which feed the capi¬ 
tal marker, are in turn depen¬ 
dent on savings- 
In tunes of high and acceler¬ 
ating inflation institutions 
which, must attempt to give a 
real return to savers ana pen¬ 
sioners (in order to stay in 
business) have not surprisingly 
almost ceased to invest in 
manufacturing industry 

They have turned instead to 
investments in short-dated 
gilts, local authority bonds and 
short-term fixed interest depo¬ 
sits in the banking system. 

It might be thought that if a 
large proportion of savers* 
money is being channelled into 


creditworthy companies, they 
will be faced with the unenvi¬ 
able choice of either lending 
and jeopardizing their 
depositors’ funds, or refusing 
and forcing companies into, 
bankruptcy. 

Furthermore, the banks and 
institutions are already heavily 
committed in support oper¬ 
ations for property companies 
and secondary financial institu¬ 
tions, where earlier this year 
problems arose similar to those 
now confronting industrial and 
commercial companies. 

The same combination of in¬ 
flation, recession and govern¬ 
ment inaction is also producing 
severe social strains. Pen¬ 
sioners, those on fixed Incomes 
and others not backed by pow¬ 
erful unions have been unable 
to snatch a greater share of a 
rapidly diminishing cake. 

Everybody is feeling the con¬ 
sequences of the pressures on 
public services and particularly 
public health and transport: 
today there are whispers of a 
four-day post; tomorrow there 
may be a part-time health ser¬ 
vice. Savers, who, like compan- 


only in temporarily postponing, 
at immense cost, an Industrial 
collapse. 

Some steps can be taken im¬ 
mediately to counteract the 
effect of the March Budget 
and other, recent political deci¬ 
sions. They include measures 
to relax price controls, to 
change 'penal tax laws and tn 
bring forward an accounting 
procedure to eliminate tbe tax¬ 
ation of unreal profit. 

But in the light of a prob¬ 
able corporate sector deficit of 
£4,000m, these can be little 
more than a demonstration of 
good faith by the Covernmcnr 
and cannot restore a sufficient 
level of real profitability to 
enable Britain to attain the 
massive and long overdue in¬ 
vestment to compete success¬ 
fully in international markets. 

The strains on the financial 
system are just as serious, 
because marginal fine tuning 
of industrial liquidity will not 
restore profitability to the cor¬ 
porate sector nor reduce in¬ 
terest rates nor alleviate prop¬ 
erty investment losses. 

Some of the pressures can 
be alleviated by persuading in¬ 
stitutions, with their regular 
flow of long-term contractual 
savings, to place these funds 
longer term, cither directly 
with the companies or with 
the clearing banks, to enable 
them to make more medium- 
term loans. But under present 
conditions and with the exist¬ 
ing framework, neither : the 
banks nor the institutions will 
be able to provide the amounts 
and types of funds required 

Whether the “ Lever bank " 


ies, are taxed on illusory gains, 'rill provide the types of finance

will turn increasingly to con¬ 
sumption, instead of providing 
tbe flow of funds for industrial 
investment viral to the future 
well-being of the country. 

Wbat then are tbe options ? 

The Government will hare 
the following choices: it can 
print money as in the past, 
spend its way out and at the 
same time watch inflation 
spiral and sterling sink. It can 
force the tanks and institu¬ 
tions to lend, jeopardize 
depositors’ funds, including 
savings and pensions, and com¬ 
pound industry’s debt servicing 
problems. 

It can, of course, also do 
nothing: it can wait for the 
flood of bankruptcies and then 
hand out wholesale and tin dis¬ 
criminating subsidies based on 
international borrowings to 
shore up tottering companies 
and temporarily preserve an 
impossibly high level of 
employment. 

All these options have one 
thing in common: they do 
nothing to solve the underlying 
problem and will succeed 


required for such long-term 
projects is not yet known, but it 
does seem as if a slight modifi¬ 
cation to the proposals associa¬ 
ted with the came of Mr Lever, 
Chancellor of the Duchy of 
Lancaster, could transfer the 
“bank” into an investment 
fund whicb would go consider¬ 
ably farther than merely en¬ 
abling the banking system to 
make medium-term loans. 

Now therefore is the time to 
propose the formation of a 
long-term investment fund 
subscribed to by all savings in¬ 
stitutions and the Government. 

The exact mechanism will 
have to be tailored both to the 
needs of industry and the insti¬ 
tutions involved, as responsibi¬ 
lities to shareholders, policy- 
holders and pensioners cannot 
be shelved without under¬ 
mining the existing financial 
system. But a joint Government/ 
City effort making use of a 
small proportion of contractual 
savings and public funds to the 
tune of some E2,Q00m is surely 
conceivable and will cost much 
less than the unselective com¬ 


mitment of public funds which 
is the likely alternative. 

Such u lung-term investment 
fund for major industrial pro¬ 
jects will provide a magnif¬ 
icent opportunity for the Gov¬ 
ernment, City and industry to 
show that they can nark 
together to solve a national 
problem and it will be impor¬ 
tant to staff the institution 
with the most capable and 
determined representatives of 
all three sectors. 

The past year has shown the 
result of a disastrous buttle be¬ 
tween Government, industry, 
the Cin- and rbe workforce, in 
which ail have been the losers. 
There is still time to correct 
the mistakes if there L> suffi¬ 
cient political honesty and a 
readiness to cut through red 
tape aud get things done. 

Even if the Government 
faces these underlying prob¬ 
lems and rakes action to set up 
an institution with the exper¬ 
tise and funds from all three 
sectors, there is a further diffi¬ 
culty it will have to face. As 
we have said, this action in 
itself will solve nothing, and if 
the economy is to be made to 
work again, manufacturing in¬ 
dustry must be restored lo pro¬ 
fitability so that our level of 
exports' can sustain the stand¬ 
ard of living we have come to 
expect. 

To make manufacturing in¬ 
dustry more profitable, mas¬ 
sive investment is required and 
the Government will have in 
choose between an increased 
public sector deficit and a 
propartiunaie reduction of 
public expenditure. 

The simple truth is that Bri¬ 
tain's international credit 
standing (North Sea oil and 
all) is now at a dangerously 
low level. Britain, like its in¬ 
dustrial companies, will soou 
be borrowing purely to meet 
irs interest commitments on 
existing loans incurred to 
maintain the current level of 
consumption. 

The unlv feasible solution is 
to reduce public expenditure 
to the level that industrial 
production and the taxpayer 
can support. 

This reduction of public 
expenditure need not entail 
the degree of deprivation often 
conjured up by its opponents. 
Tbere must be an honest and 
rational choice of priorities. 

Fewer subsidized local auth¬ 
ority swimming pools, fewer 
changes in the colour of Post 
Office vans and tighter budget¬ 
ary controls of funds can be 
consistent with an overall 
reduction in public expend¬ 
iture and an improvement in 
*he National Health Service and 
other vital services. 

Enormous increases in the 
piutirability of industrial com¬ 


panies have been made simply 
hy the application of effective 
financial controls; yet the con-, 
trqls on central and local auth¬ 
ority expenditure arc in many 
cases virtually non-existent. 

We suspect lit at a rapid and; 
thorough appraisal by profev’ 
sionais of methods of public 
and in particular local auth-; 
nrity expenditure would reveal' 

extensive opportunities to' 
reduce it through ensuring value, 
value money, without reducing 
the quality of services. 

There is of course the alter-.’ 
native of a full-scale socialist 
Marc. Wc have said little about 
it for three fundamental rea¬ 
sons. 

First, we do not believe that' 
such an enormous change in 
our political and economic sy*-, 
tcm can be made in a short 
period of time, even if some of 
the arguments put forward by, 
its supporters are valid? 
Secondly, and more impor¬ 
tantly. the cost of nationalizing, 
and taking over a substantial’ 
part of the private sector on 
top of the existing deficits, 
would be overwhelming. 

Third, there is little indi¬ 
cation that the public would be- 
better served by sr 
Government. Civil Service 

handing our money to whomever 
it deemed worthy of it, more 
often than not for political rea¬ 
sons. than private companies 
responsible to employees aruj 
shareholders. * 

Last, but not least, the fabric 
nr our political, industrial, 
financial and social institu* 
tintis is based an the concept, 
•if free enterprise and cooper¬ 
ation between different sec* 
tions of the community, both- 
oF which have been singularly, 
lacking during the past feu- 
years. It must be worth giving 
these two fundamental charac¬ 
teristics of the British way of. 
life a final chance. 

If this Government makes, 
decisions based on economic - 
reality rather than political:, 
illusion, the economic stability - 
of Britain can be restored shIV 
ficiently to enable us to face' 
the threat of an international.; 
recession, which, unlike many 
of our current difficulties, will- 
not be self-imposed or capable 
of an independent national* 
solution. .. 

But with the present rate ot 
inflation and the increasing 
threat of widespread bankrupt, 
cies. it is no moment to echo.

France takes the sting out of joblessness 

The agreement signed last week or die number of "unemployed, upon a satisfactory settlement 
between the CNPF t the French which at present, runs at- of the Government’s .financial 


employers’ federation, and all 
trade union organizations, on 
the extension of benefit is to 
caver 90 per cent of one year’s 
wages in the event of dismissal 
for “ economic causes ” makes 
France the most advanced 
country in the world in the field 
of unemployment insurance. 

It is also a distinct achieve¬ 
ment for the Government’s 
labour policy. Early last sum¬ 
mer, M Chirac, the French 


_ present. 

between 400,000 and 500,000. 

The employers have. esti¬ 
mated that the cost, of the new 
scheme will amount to 03 per 
cent of the total mass of wages 
paid, or about 1,000m francs. 
The state’s contribution to the 
new fund, would therefore 
amount to only an additional 
300m francs, over the cost of 
ordinary unemployment. insur¬ 
ance. . 

The new scheme will be 
managed by-the UNEDIC, the 




- employers «i«. insurance organization which 

sentatives and. urged them to 

unions without state subsidies 
or intervention. At present 
employers’ contributions to the 
UNEDIC amount to four fifths, 
and wage earners’ to one fifth 
of 0.8 per cent of wages. 

The balance of the financing 
of the new scheme would have 
to be shared between them. 

At one stage some members 
of tbe employers’ federation 
thought that the state should 


reach a collective agreement by 
October 16 on wider protection 
for the unemployed—otherwise 
ir would have to do so by law. 

What remains unsettled is the 
exact amount of the state’s con¬ 
tribution to tbe cost of tbe new 
system. 

The Government has 
announced that it will pay over- 
to the newly created fund for 
the guarantee of wages a total 


of 1,071m francs (about £973m) meet the whole cost of the 


next year. This sum could be 
adjusted if- - the number of 
employed was to increase 
sharply. 

The sum is an increase of 37 
per cent, on the- total of 783m 


scheme because its policy would 
be responsible for any collec¬ 
tive dismissals. But it would 
then have demanded a say in 
the running of the UNEDIC. 

It was felt wiser to settle for 


francs paid by the state in 1974 more limited help and to pre¬ 
in unemployment benefits. serve the autonomy of the 


But employers and unions 
consider that this contribution 
is quite inadequate. ' They also 
want to know on what basis it 
has been worked out and bow 
the adjustment will be cal¬ 
culated, _ whether on the 
increase in the cost of living 


organization. 

But employers’ and wage 
earners’ contributions will 
certainly have to be raised, 
probably to 1 per cent or 1.1 
per cent of wages. The unions, 
however, make their approval 
of the increase conditional 


assistance,-. 

They also -insist that basic 
unemployment benefits, which 
now stand'at 10 francs a day 
(appreciated'to allow, for mone¬ 
tary erosion) should be raised 
to 16 francs-, which is the mini¬ 
mum paid out by the UNEDIC. 

In practice,, two systems of 
unemployment - insura ace will 
coexist in France.in the future : 
the ordinary system' for indi¬ 
vidual dismissal for professional 
reasons _ or ' for voluntary 
resignation, covered by the 
state unemployment insurance, 
and rhe additional benefit paid 
out by _ the UNEDIC. together 
a mounting, to about 70 per cent 
oF wages; and the new system 
of_ cover for unemployment 
arising from economic causes, 
which will amount to 90 per 
cent of gross wages for one 
year. 

Employers and wage earners 
will pay only- one contribution 
under both schemes, and the 
benefits will nor be cumulative. 

Tbe benefits of rhe new 
scheme will extend to those of 
the 16 million members of the 
rrades and professions affiliated 
to the UNEDIC who- having lost 
their employment for economic 
reasons (degeneration of busi¬ 
ness or reorganization of pro¬ 
duction), .are- under 60; who 
have been affiliated for at least 
six montli5 of the year preced¬ 
ing .dismissal; '.who have 
registered at . the National 
Employment Agencyare not 
seasonally employed, and have 
not turned down a job or a 


course of training offered by the 
agency. 

Tbe government has made it 
clear that the scheme would also 
be extended to state or mumri- 
paTemployees working on a con¬ 
tract basis. But it does not cover 
the 800,000 domestic servants in 
France, or the even more 
numerous building workers. 

Every three months, the case 
of the unemployed receiving 
benefits under the new scheme 
will be reviewed by a joint 
board'of employers_ and union 
representative to decide whether 
they should go on being paid. At 
lhe end of the year of entitle¬ 
ment, if he has not found a job, 
the unemployed will revert to 
the basic insurance scheme. 

One question which hns also 
to be fixed is the ceiling for the 
payment of the new benefits. 
At present, the ceiling fixed by 
the UNEDIC is 111,360 francs 
a year. - 

This ceiling will probably be 
raised. 

If ail goes well and parlia¬ 
ment votes the necessary laws 
before the end of this year, 
rhe new system should go into 
operation in January. 


It is the government's inten¬ 
tion that it should be com¬ 
pleted by a further agreement 
between employers and unions 
on the security of employment, 
tightening up a previous agree¬ 
ment of 1969. But negotiations 
on this have been marking 
time, because • the unions 
demand the automatic re¬ 
employment of anyone laid off. 

If by October 30 no 
compromise is readied, the 
government will introduce a 
Bill in parliament. 

The new unemployment in¬ 
surance system docs not give 
it more room for manoeuvre 
in carrying out its anti-inflation 
policy. Although France has 
liever known mass unemploy¬ 
ment on the scale of Britain 
or Germany, public opinion is 
acutely sensitive to rbe mere 
threat of it. 

At best, the agreement 
signed last week will take 
the political sting out of such 
regional or sectorial unemploy¬ 
ment problems as are bound to 
arise within the next six 
months.

Regal Air 


There was an air of quiet satis¬ 
faction ar the Bedford Square 
headquarters of the Associ¬ 
ation of Certified Accountants 
in London yesterday. Just 70 
years after its foundation it 
has been honoured with a 
roval charter—despite objec¬ 
tions by the United Kingdoms 
largest accountants °nzaniz- 
ation, the Institute of Char- 
rered Accountants in England 
and Wales, and by the Scottish 
institute. 


George Rees: supporter of 
accountants* integration. 

This means that of tbe six 
organizations looking after 
accountants’ affairs in this 
country five now have royal 
charters, tbe public finance 
and local authority meu having 
bagged theirs a year ago to 
become the Chartered Institute 
of Public Finance and Accoun¬ 
tancy. 

It surely will not be long 
before the Institute of Cost 
and Management Accountants 
pick up the honour, if _ only 
because of its diligence in in¬ 
dustrial circles. 

The honouring of the certi¬ 
fied accountants, who have 
made a successful thing of ad 


open door” policy to bring 
on juniors and have also espe¬ 
cially encouraged the recruit¬ 
ment of women, is likely to 
lead to a revival of efforts to 
bring all the accountants’ 
organizations more closely 
together. 

.George Rees, president of 
the ACA—he bas a north of 
England practice with head¬ 
quarters in Chesterfield, Derby¬ 
shire—has been a firm sup¬ 
porter of integration in the 
profession. Be watched efforts 
in 1970 founder on non-accept¬ 
ance by a majority of members 
of the Institute of Chartered 
Accountants In England and 
Wales. 

He was hardly surprised 
when they and the Institute 
of Chartered Accountants of 
.Scotland objected to the ACA’s 
petition to the Privy Council 
for a charter. 

Now the ACA is in the royal 
club, members of the Institute 
of England and Wales are less 
likely on the face of-it to turn 
down attempts to create at 
least an umbrella organization 
which wpnld speak for the pro¬ 
fession as a whole, especially 
in the corridors of Whitehall,' 
Westminster and Brussels. 

After alL, the Accounting 
Standards Steering Committee 
and its deliberations have 
paved the way. There has been 
unanimity of views, too, on 


education and training in con¬ 
sultative committee. 

The public at .large for the 
moment will still nevertheless 
have to wrestle with the varied 
accountant tides. Chartered in¬ 
stitute members will still be 
the chartered accountants 
while ACA members keep 
their title of' certified accoun¬ 
tants albeit with the new ACA 
tide of incorporation by royal 
charter. 

It would be nice to see that 
bit of professional semantics 
cleared up some time. 

Korean lure 

George Turnbull, the former 
British Leyland managing 
director who . took on the 
daunting task of starting from 
scratch a new South Korean 
motor industry, is back in Lon¬ 
don to recruit one more' senior 
British engineer to complete 
his management team. 

This time he is looking for. a 
man to work in the truck and' 
bus side of the new project 
which is mainly involved with 
the production of a new family 
saloon car. On his whistle-stop 
visit to Britain, Turnbull would, 
only reveal yesterday that. he 
had "someone, in mind" for 
the job. 

Earlier this year, more than 
200 top engineers from the 
main British motor companies 
applied to join Turnbull and he 
appointed five. All of them, he 


said yesterday, were being paid 
“substantial • sums” which 
would enable them to save a 
large amount. 

The temptations are great. 
Turnbull is reckoned to have 
been offering' salaries of at 
least £20.000 a'year tax-free to 
.his top men, free cars, cheap 
housing and free travel back to 
.Britain for holidays.. 

He was also somewhat in¬ 
scrutable about his own position 
with Hyundai Motors, the 
.Korean company which lured 
him away from the European 
motor industry. He has still 
not revealed his salary as vice- 
president, but estimates vary 
from between £30,000 and 
£50,000 a year. 

He is now seven months into 
his three-year contract and 
said yesterday : “ I have certain 
options open,lo me to stay on. 
The compuuy is going to 
expand very rapidly and I 
would like to see h through its 
development stages.” 

Turnbull, -who left British 
Leyland after fundamental dis¬ 
agreements about reorganiza¬ 
tion, was full of praise for his 
old company. ** I spent over 30 
years with Leyland and I have 
nothing but good will for the 
company. While I am here there 
may be tbe opportunity of run- 
nfng into Lord Stokes and I 
would certainly welcome any 
advice he could give me." 


Record 
Sales with 
increased 
Exports 



Mr. Stonier L Speiptit, 
Cliamun 


Main points from the Chairman's Statement 
for the year ended 31 March, 1974 

■ Sales have been at a record level during the year and 
I particularly stress the high level of direct eyports at 
almost £1 im. We have made special efforts to obtain 
increased export orders and this will continue as it is so 
essential to have this diversity of markets. 

■ Looking to the current year, our order books are at 
much higher levels than at this time last year and this is 
reflected in both home and export business. Sales levels 
are substantially higher than last year and l confidently 
expect this situation to continue to the end of 1374. 
The actions of so many Governments could have 
adverse effect on world trade in the future and this 
would naturally affect our company but I feel we have 
diversified both our products and our markets so as to 
enable us to weather any such situations: 

M l would like to take this opportunity to comment on 
the European Community, membership of which I 
consider is vital to this country^ We have invested 
quite heavily in distribution in Europe with the object 
of obtaining more business and more work for our 
factories. The export figures for Europe indicate that 
this policy is bearing fruit and it would be tragic if this 
trend were reversed. It is interesting to note that in 
spite of the forecasts of opponents of European 
involvement, our exports to the Commonwealth and 
other areas have also prospered.

Japanese 
report faults 
in two 
GE reactors 


Tokvo, Oct 24.—Two Japanese 
electric power companies 
announced yesterday they each 
have discovered cracks in the 
Cooling recycling system in one 
of their hot water-type nuclear 
reactors. The two reactors are 
among six similar units pro¬ 
duced by the General Electric 
Co. and installed in Japanese 
nuclear power plants. 

Tokyo Electric Power Com¬ 
pany and Chubu Electric Com¬ 
pany, who made the announce¬ 
ment, said die cracks resembled 
those reported in September in 
the General Electric products 
used in the United States. 

The Ministry of International 
Trade and Industry (MITT) had 
ordered the inspections leading 
to the discovery because of the 
reported effects in America. 

Both Japanese power com¬ 
panies said there was no 
danger of radiation leakage 
because the defective pipes are 
within the conc rete reactor 
shields. Bur MITI has ordered 
their shutdown until repairs 
are completed. 

The Cnubu reactor involved, 
situated in Shizuoka prefecture, 
has a 540,000 kilowatt generat¬ 
ing capacity and the Tokyo 
electric power reactor, in 
Fukushima prefecture, a 416.000 
kilowatt capacity. 

Of four other reactors 
ordered to be inspected, two 
were found without cracks and 
inspections on the other two 
are not completed, government 
sources said. Industry sources 
taid it is believed that the 
cracks were caused by defective 
welding of the stainless steel 
pipes near the reactor core.—

EEC boosts 
steel output 


Output of raw steel among 
member countries of the Inter¬ 
nationa] Iron and Steel Institute, 
which accounts for about 98 per 
cent of production outside the 
eastern block and China, rose to 
nearly 40 million tonnes last 
month. 

The chief factor behind the 
improvement from the previous 
month’s level was production in 
the EEC countries, although pro¬ 
duction in the United Kingdom 
continued to flag behind the 
European trend. 


. By David Young 

Britain’s hotels are on average 
busier and more expensive than 
their European counterparts. 
They have been only slightly 
affected by the drop in Amen- 
can tourists, according to the 
1974 edition of world hotel 
statistics compiled by Horwath 
and Horwath International. 

In 1973 the average hotel 
room in Britain was occupied for 
813 per cent of the available 
time, compared with the Euro¬ 
pean average of $8-5 per cent.

lars, for British hotels in 1973 
was $29.13 compared with S29-31 
the year before and $26.46 in 
197 L 

The average European figures 
were S24.61 in 1973, S22J53 in 
1972 and $21.02 in 1971. 

Figures show that whereas in 
1972 30.4 hotel guests in Europe 
were from America, this figure 
dropped to 24.4 in 1973. 

The number of Australian and 
African hotel guests in Europe 
in 1973 also dropped over the 
1972 figures, reflecting the in

Independent 
airline 6 more 
efficient 5 


By Arthur Reed 
Air Correspondent 

British Caledonian Airways, 
the independent airline, is more 
efficient than state-owned Brit¬ 
ish Airways based on employee 
performance, according to 
figures issued by the Inter¬ 
national Civil Aviation Organ 
ization, tiie United Nations 
agency. 

The figures, published yester¬ 
day in the British aviation maga¬ 
zine Flight International, come 
at a time when some union 
officials have been calling for 
the nationalization of BCAL on 
the grounds of inefficient man¬ 
agement, after the decision by 
the airline to reduce services 
by 20 per cent and employees by 
800. 

In 1973-74 each employee in 
BCAL produced P! 1*230 rev¬ 
enue, compared with £10,605 in 
BA, according to the ICAO 
figures. 

ICAO also compared the 
utilization by each airline of 
similar aircraft, and once again 
BCAL came out best.

Conflicting 
car reports 
in Australia 


From Our Own Correspondent 
Melbourne, Aug 24 
Two conflicting reports on 
the country’s motor car indus¬ 
try have been given to the 
Australian government; and 
the Parliamentary Labour 
Party’s economics committee 
will begin hearings in Canberra 
tomorrow to decide which 
should be recommended for 
acceptance. 

The first report to be con¬ 
sidered will be that submitted 

S the Industries Assistance 
mmissi ow which recom¬ 
mended a drastic restructuring 
of the industry. Hie IAC said 
that the local content plans for 
the vehicle industry be scrapped 
and tariffs reduced 
It said that about 2,000 men 
would lose their jobs overall 
and that only three of the four 
main makers of medium 
vehicles would survive. 

The second report to be con¬ 
sidered was tabled by Mr Whit- 
lam. the Prime Minister, in the 
House of Representatives today. 
It had been commissioned by a 
private firm of industrial con¬ 
sultants, Martec Pry. 

Thris report said that imports 
of built-up cars and components 
tvould reach eightv per cent of 
rbe market by 1950 not 56 per 
cent as forecast by. the IAC. 

The Martec report added that 
in this situation Chrysler would 
not survive 

Tens of thousands of Austra¬ 
lian motor workers would be 
forced out of their jobs if the 
ICA report was accepted rather 
than the 2,000 predicted by the 
Commission. 


Aero exports on

Britain’s ' aerospace exports 
are already well on the way 
towards achieving another 
record year. Figures issued 
yesterday by the Society of 
British Aerospace Companies 
show that fay the end of 
August the industry had met 
export orders worth £400m—an 
increase of nearly £60m on the 
same period last year. 

With returns for four months 
still to come, this year’s total is 
expected, to reach £600zn com¬ 
pared with last year’s £S20xn. 
The total for August was £483m

Any feasible upturn for Lon¬

Gill & Duff us predict peak 
year with £5.7m pre tax 


With two months still to run 
until the year end, the board 
of the Gill & Duffus Group of 
international commodity mer¬ 
chants and brokers, says that it 
is heading for another record 
year with taxable profits estima¬ 
ted at £5.75m, against £5.18m. 

Meanwhile, the board is 
dedaring an interim dividend 
of 2B4p, against 2.3p adjusted 
for scrip. There is also the 
option for shareholders to take 
shares instead of cash. The 
board explains that it is taking 
the opportunity to pay the 
biggest dividend possible at this 


time in die hope, that a further 
relaxation of dividend restric¬ 
tions might enable the payment 
of an additional increase at die 
year end. Such a payment would 
be covered, as the board 
estimates that net profits will 
have risen -from £2.69 to 23m. 

No interim results are dis¬ 
closed, as the board feels that 
annual figures are more 
informative. Looking further 
ahead, the directors, under Mr. 
R. McFalL the - chairman, say 
that economic conditions make 
a forecast impossible, but there 
is no sign of a drop in activity, 
either in die group’s traditional 
trading areas or in newer 
activities.

final hour brought 
11 «. ,: e rises in gold shares, 
U[] (it 7 reflected the success of 
J, Umdon bullion price in 
ing through the level of 
in ounce, regarded in some 
.ts as a significant indica- 
if future trends, 
h gold shares also finding 
: on Wall Street, London 
prices were speeding 
in the final minutes. 
Gold (£93), President 
(£18), President Brand 
, FS Geduld (£ 211 ) and 


isg*. Afnerican Corporation 
(29ap) all featured in the list 
of gains. 

Good profits from Dunlop 
Holdings helped the shares up 
by 2p to 32p, as well as playing 
a part in steadying the market. 
S? T ec ^a™ (139p), did well, and 

.(160p), Courtaulds (69pj 
and F 150 ns (185p) managed to 
recover from early weakness. 

_ A prominent feature were 
tajlaher shares (7p up at 131p) 
Mter market rumours that 
American Brands would offer 
I 60 p for the outstanding equity. 
But other tobacco shares had a 
quiet session. Bats (16Dp) and 
Imps (38p) found few takers. 

Banking issues made little 
response to a batch of reports 
ou trading, and on some of 
the other matters currently 
upsetting die section. Hill 
Samuel closed unchanged after 
a profits announcement which 
also gave further details of the 
implications of the involvement 
with the collapse of Herstarc 
Rank- Shares in Edward Bates 
nidgs slipped to 35p after dis¬ 
closure of the final details of 
the sale of subsidiary Welfare 
Insurance to London & Man¬ 
chester Assurance. 

Heavy engineering shares 
could make no headway, 
although they succeeded La 
recouping their initial falls. 
Tube Investments (170p) closed 
unchanged on the day, and 
Plessey (61p) and BLMC <9p) 
were dull. 

. On the company news sec¬ 
tions, Hopltinsons Holdings 
weakened to 42p on disappoint¬ 


ing half time profits. Also 
lower in the wake of a trading 
statement, were shares in 
Marchwiei st 4Sp. UBM closed 
unchanged after the interim 
report, hux Ash Spinning aod 
Copydcx were unsettled by their 
respective trading news. 

Brighter features included 
Greeff Chemicals, whose in¬ 
terim profits news pleased the 
market, and Staffordshire 
Potteries, Turriff Constructions 
and Gill & Duff us. 

Property shares turned in a 
dull performance. Loudon 
Bridge Securities gave up pfu*t 
of Wednesday’s speculative 
gala. Berkeley Hambros, how¬ 
ever, closed 6p off at 91p. 

_ Interest in oil shares was 
light, and early gains were 
eroded following an announce¬ 
ment from Burmah Oil of the 
scaling of an unsuccessful 
drilling. Australian mines 
moved up, with gold interests 
providing help in some cases. 

Equity turnover on October 
23 was £4S-2m (12,078 bargains). 
The tea most active stocks in 
yesterday’s equity market, as 
listed by Exchange Telegraph, 
were ICL, Commercial Union 
(new), Burmah Oil, Shell, 
BLMC, Gallaher, Gen Elec, 
Marks & Spencer, Boots aod 
Grand Metropolian Hotels. 

Although the undertone in 
gilts remained firm, with 
healthy two-way business, prices 
ended up lower on the day, 
although off the bottom. The 
longer end of the market was 
weakest, making the yield curve, 
even steeper.

Mining 

Algom- 
ico merger 

didders in Brinco have 
resting investment deci- 
their hands. The ques- 
wbether they should 
in offer of SS.27 a share 
. comprising the $7.07 
by the company to buy 


in its_own shares and a tax- 
free $1.20 cash dividend, or else 
accept the dividend and an 
equity participation in RTZ’s 
51 per cent-owned Canadian 
subsidiary, Rio Algom Mines. 

The catch is that the Rio 
Algom price has fallen in recent 
weeks and accepting share¬ 
holders would see a capital loss 
if they took-the second choice. 
On the present Rio Algom price 
and assuming a maximum of 
three shares to be exchanged 
for every 10 Brinco.. a loss of 
17c for each Brinco share would 
be seen. 

But any investment derision 


should be delayed until full 
derails of tbe proposed merger 
are published. 

Bougainville output 

Production of copper concen¬ 
trates at Bougainville Copper in 
the September quarter amoun¬ 
ted to 157,536 tonnes, compared 
with 160,187 in tbe preceding 
three months and 169,917 ton¬ 
nes in the September quarter of 
1973. The shares rose 4p to 82p.

Silver soars as 
gold gains $6.50 

A sharp advance io tbe gold 
price (up S6.S0 to S164.50) boosted 
SILVER values yesterday. At the 
close London Metal Exchange 
prices were 10.4p to ll.Sp higher 
and cash metal at 218.1Sp a troy 
ounce was at its best level since 
May. 

In Lhe morning the late over¬ 
night rally in New York futures 
prompted modest covering and 
fresh baying which found sellers 
rather reserved. The early trend 
in New York yesterday and firm¬ 
ness of gold caused new chart, 
speculative and stop loss buying 
In the afternoon. However, ’ top 
marks were pared by profit-taking.

Gold was at a five month high 
after a sudden burst of activity 
in the afternoon. At one stage the 
price was quoted at $164.25-5165.75 
before closing in the range of 
S163.50-S165.00. 

Bullion dealers said the weak¬ 
ness of the dolldr, the prospect of 
further falls in interest rates and 
optimistic estimates of tbe amount 
of gold Americans will buy when 
the ban on private ownership is 
lifted in the new year, all helped 
to lift the price through the 
psychologically important 5160 
level. 

At that point the price “ rook 
off ” under a wave of speculative 
buying. 

COPPER wires rallied to close with 
gains of £ 11.26 lor cash wirr bars and 
£12 for Ihiw months. A higher opening 
reflected further covering against Weal 
German business and the movement ivas 
eslonded under short covering, trade 
and stop 1*»9 buying before the higher 
levels attracted prDflt-talctng ana st 
partial reaction developed. How aver, the 
higher a firm non gala price encouraged 
fresh buying ana covering and (he

1973 zinc problems 
highlighted 

Tbe severe problems of zinc 
supplies during 1973 are high¬ 
lighted by the new world flow 
table for unwrought due pub¬ 
lished today , by the World Bureau 
of MetaJ Statistics. The zinc con¬ 
tent of concentrate production at 
5.8 million tonnes was 3 per cent 
above the previous year and inter¬ 
national trade at 2/2 minion 
tonnes was equivalent to 38 per 
cent of ontpuL 

Slab zinc output at 5-5 milli on 
tonnes showed only a m a r ginal 
increase over 1972. However, out¬ 
put in the United States slumped 
11 per cent to 570,000 tonnes 
although fills loss was offset by 
rising levels in Japan, fixe largest 
producer, and in Canada. 

Consumption escalated by 8 per 
cent to fractionally under 6 
million tonnes with record demand 
levels in Western Europe, United 
States and Japan who together 
accounted ter two thirds of the 
world total. 

The gap between production and 
consumption of nearly half a 
mflion tonnes was met by "with¬ 
drawals of 247(000 tonnes from the 
United States stockpile and by re¬ 
ductions in other stocks principally 
those held by producers. 

Copies of the table which traces 
file complete flour of mrwronght 
metal from mines to consumers are 
available from the World Bureau, 
6 Bathurst Street, London, W22SD 
at £12 each (post free). 


Why the copper price 
has dropped 

General Jorge Fernandez Mal¬ 
donado, the Peruvian Mines and 
Energy Minister, said in Lima 
that the strengthening of the 
Inter-Governmental Committee of 
Copper Exporting Countries 
(Cipec) was fundamental if world 
copner prices were to be defended. 
Pern backed Zambia for an 
enlargement of the group. 

With additional members, the 
four-country committee (Chile, 
Peru, Zambia and Zaire) would 
“be able to control a larger 
percentage of die world's copper 
exports , he told reporters. 

“ The price of copper has 
dropped on tbe world marker 
because of speculation add sales 
on tbe London market of stocks 
from Japan ", he said.-—Reuter. 

Pern cuts zinc price 

Peru has cut its zinc selling 
price by 51 cents to 41.5c per lb, 
the vtate company, Mi ner o Peru 
announced in Lima.—Reuter. 

US soyabean stocks 

Washington, Oct 23,—Stocks of 
soyabeans held by United States 
n rimitiq on September 30 amounted 
to 22,766(666 bushels, down from 
a revised figure of 41,603^333 
bushels a month earlier, but up 
from the 13.543333 bushels held 
at end-September last year, 
according to Census Bureau 
figures released today.—Renter. 


Call for IMF funding 
of tin buffer stock 

Kuala Lumpur, Oct 24.—Tun 
Abdul Kazak, file Malaysian Prime 
Minister, said the International 
Monetary Fond (IMF) should con¬ 
sider financing the International 
Tin Buffer Stock to help stabilize 
the tin price. 

. He called bn the International 
Tin Council (ITC) to start talks 
with financial institutions to secure 
better terms ter its exhaustible and 

non-renewable resources. 

• He told an ITC council meeting 
which was discussing an acceptable 
method of fixing .the floor-price of 
tin to the cost of production, that 
more uses for tin.should be found 
and more tin-using industries 
should be set up in Malaysia. 

Tun Kazak said there are still 
substantial areas of tin consump¬ 
tion and production outside tee 
scope of the International Tin 
Agreement. • 

He said he hopes those areas 
can be encouraged to participate 
in the agreement and contribute to 
the effectiveness of tbe work 
carried oat by the ITC. 

As the world’s leading producer 
of tin, Malaysia subscribed id the 
philosophy underlying exhaustible 
and non-renewable resources, but 
Tun Rank believed it was obliged 
to store these resources with the 
rest of tiie world.—Renter.

Its " effective " devaluation 
(from December, 1971) worsened 
to 18.9 per cent from Wednesday's 
1S.S, and remained there until the 
! close, it was last that u-eak on 
February 5. 

Against the dollar, the pound 
Tell 15 point* to S2./.215, though 
an initial drop took ii briefly io 
52.3290. Dealers said the pound 
was tending to follow the dollar 
! downwards. 

The dollar strengthened fiom 
the start of business and regained 
a substantial amount of IVedees- 
dav's losses, buc its rally 


collapsed soon after the Gens in 
Bank rate was cut. Dealers said 
it appeared that many operators 
had gone " short ** of Conti¬ 
nental currencies in anticipation 
or the move, and their action had 
bolstered the dollar. 


Discount market 

Day-to-day credit was in verv 
short supply for much of yester¬ 
day’s session and the Bank of 
England was eventually required 
to assist the market on a largo 
scale. The Bank purchased 
Treasury’ hills and corporation 

bills directly from Lite houses in 
need. 

Even so. conditions *tiI1 re¬ 
mained fairly tight at the clo.^e, 
with final balances taken at HU 
or 10J per cent. Houses nail 
initially encountered quite neaw, 
and widclv-based ** calling ". and 
found it" extremely difficult in 
attract fresh funds even with bids 
of 11 or 111 per cent. Tax wax 
again a major factor lor the »la> n 
> nonage, dealers said. 


COMPANY MEETING 


EAST ASIATIC RUBBER 
ESTATES 


At the Annual General Meet¬ 
ing ot East Asiatic Rubber 
Estates Limited 1 , held on 
October 15th in London, the 
Chairman. Mr. N. E. Bletnmci*. 
made tbe fallowing additional 
remarks: 

In my circulated Statement I 
summarised the results for the 
past year and 1 would now like 
to add that the crop for the first 
six months of the current year 
totalled 1.724.000 kilos against 
an estimate of 1,548,000 kilos. 
With regard to Teluk Merbau, 
the outputs for the nine months 
to September 30th were: Rub¬ 
ber 321.000 kilos; Palm Oil 
6.587 metric tuns: Palm Kernel* 
1,712 metric rons. 

As our future must he 
judged in the light of the out¬ 
come ol the voting which is to 
take place at the Extraordinary 
Gencrtl Meeting fallowing this 
A.G.M. I shall refrain from 
further commenting at this 
stage. 

The past year has been a 
pretty worrying affair, iidi least 
in connection with the change 
of residence to Malaysia. How¬ 
ever, the current year has given 
us enough wind in our sails and 
we are reasonably confident 
that the results for the current 
year will be approximately the 
same as we have seen for the 
year we have just dealt with. 


The repurt was adapted. 

Al ;hi- Extraurdhi,try Genet al 
Meeting Mr. H. T. k,irMi'u, lhe 
former chairman of the Com¬ 
pany, proposed lhe reNolulion 
for transfer ol residence and 
said: 

“ t cannot deny tli.ti I am a 
little bit sorry to see ibis Cum, 
pany being mated out to the 
Far East as 1 have been con¬ 
nected with it here in London 
for a very lung time—in fau, 
forty-three yours. However, it 
is quite clear that it i.s necessary 
in these conditions to emigrate 
and 1 shall therefore be glad io 
propose the transfer." 

The Chairman thanked Mr. 
Kars ten far proposing the rosn- 
iution which was put to the 
Meeting and duly passed. 

In reply to a question by Mr. 
Karsren regarding payment nf 
future dividends, the Chairman 
stated Thai Shareholders would 
be notified of the results of the 
Extraordinary General Meeting 
and *it the same time they t\uu!i( 
be informed that they can opt 
for whichever current", they 
want, but they must ajiprcciaro 
that ’ii the world we live in if 
it is insisted upon to be received 
in pounds sterling, it will be 
converted from Malaysian dol¬ 
lars ime sterling at the ex¬ 
change rate ruling at the time. 

The remaining resolutions 
were also passed and the Chair¬ 
man thanked the Shareholders 
for theit attendance.

The Board of Greeff-Chemicais Holdings Limited announce 
that profit after tax for the first half of 1974 amounted to 
£303,000 before taking credit for a profit of £473,000 (aftertax) 
on the sale of investments. 

' In these figures no account has been taken of the results 
of Chemical Securities Limited which has been acquired since 
the end of the first half of the year. However, the second half 
of 1974 wiff reflect trading of Chemfcaf Securities for six 
months and its main trading subsidiary, Kingsley & Keith 
Chemicals Group, for eight months, as the latter company's 
last balance sheet, incorporated In Chemical Securities 1 
balance sheet at 30th June, 1974, was as at 30th April, 1974. 

Group trading profit in the first half of 1974 (including profit 
of associated companies) has shown a marked increase over 
the first half of 1973. Profits of R. W. Greeff & Co. Ltd., mightbe 
slightly lower in the second half of 1974 than In the first, but 
with the introduction of profits from Chemical Securities and 
its subsidiaries In the second half, 1974 as a whole should 
provide excellent results. 

The reduction of dividend incoma wising from the sale 
of half of our holding in 3M United Kingdom has been far 
more than offset by bank interest received on the proceeds. 

The income from British Utah Ltd. reflected In these 
figures, arising from their 1973 dividend amounted lo £135,000 
aftertax. However, Itshouid be noted thatthe proportion of the 
profits for the first six months of 1974attributablato our holding 
is over £1 million aftertax. 

The Directors have today declared an Interim dividend 
of 1.1p per share (1973—1.01OSp) equivalent to 1.6418p 
per share (1973—1.4437p) after allowing for imputed tax 
credits. Ibis dividend has been declared payable on eth 
January 1975 to Ordinary Shareholder* on the Register as 
at the close of business on 29th November 1974. 

The whole of the Company’s £125,000 Preferenoe stock 
was redeemed in July 1974 for £71000 Is cash and this 
transaction win be reflected In the final accounts for the year.

President’s plea helped 
to worsen car slump 


Lay-offs by 
wood-based 


Detroit, Oct 24.—America's 
slump in new cat saJe$ is be¬ 
coming worse. Mr Lynn Town¬ 
send, chairman of Chrysler 
Corporation, said at a press 
conference that this was partly 
the fault of President Ford’s 
admonition to consumers to buy 
less. 

But despite tumbling sales, 
Mr Townsend said, Chrysler is 
planning a second round of 
price increases in the near 
future on 197S model.cars and 
trucks. He did not say bow 
large the rises might be. 

Speaking a day after the com¬ 
pany reported an $Sm (about 
£3ro) third quarter loss, he de¬ 
clined to comment on whether 
directors- might reduce Clirys- 
leris divivond and gave new 
details on the company’s deep 
cost-cutting programme, iDelud¬ 
ing an indication that a pre¬ 
viously reported pJ»n to close 
permanently a Detroit assembly 
plant was getting particularly 
serious attention. 

Mr Townsend disclosed that 
the company had already cut 
its planned 1975 capital spend¬ 
ing plans to abour S475m from 
5525m and was looking for ways 
to reduce it still further. 

Though asked several times 
how the company could attempt 
still another price increase in 
a slumping market, he said that 
the already sharply higher 
prices of the 1975 models were 
not the main reason for the pre¬ 
sent sales decline. And be re¬ 
peated that Chrysler was still 
facing unrecovered costs averag¬ 
ing $250 a vehicle on 1975 
models 

^Recession is rapidly taking 
the spotlight ” as the the 
country’s top economic prob¬ 


lem, Mr Townsend said- “ Infla¬ 
tion is peaking ”. and as a 
result, as far as the car indus¬ 
try is concerned, he said, the 
Administration ’ “should be 
directing its efforts to the 
stimulation of purchases, not 
the discouragement of them”. 

While president Ford's “ do 
not buy ” pleas -were the main 
problem in the- car market : af 
present, a strong second, - Mr 
Townsend contended, was fast-' 
shrinking retail credit fdr new-: 
car customers. 

“The banks are taking them¬ 
selves out of tire retail auto 
market, or are establishing 
rates unacceptable ” ro would- 
be car buyers, he said. 

He claimed that Chrysler 
field reports -indicated that: 
“ We are losing one out of two 
sales because' of unavailability 
of credit.” He complained that 
many banks, which had other 
places to put money, were 
refusing to finance cars beyond 
36 months, though the captive 
finance subsidiaries of Chrysler, 
as well as. those of General 
Motors Corporation and the 
Ford Motor Company, were 
extending 42-month and even 
48-mo nth notes. . . 

Mr Townsend made it clear 
that a previously reported 
feasibility study for die possible 
permanent closedown of one of 
the company’s six United States 
assembly planes was getting 
serious attention. 

Though he stressed that a 
final decision has not been 
made, he outlined some strong 
reasons for such a closing. He 
observed rbat the Detroir plant 
involved is the company’s oldest 
and was operating far below 
capacity.—AP-Dow Jones. 


industries in 
Philippines 


Manila, Oct 24.—Worldwide 
recession and inflation have 
forced wood-ba.»ed industries in 
the Philippines to lay off about 
24,000 workers from the end of 
September, an official said. 

Mr Jose Leido, Secretary of 
■the Department of Natural 
Resources, said the government 
is accelerating the reforestation 
of .critical watersheds,and other 
areas and undertaking measures 

S create hew jobs. Re added 
at these steps are expected to 
absorb 18.662 workers. 

The government is to spend 
in initial 60m pesos (about 
£3-9m) and die wood-based in¬ 
dustries 38 million pesos. 

Under a presidential decree, 
timber licensees and pasture 
leasees are required to de¬ 
velop areas within their con¬ 
cessions and grazing lands for 
production of rice, coni and 
ocher staple crops.—AP-Dow 
Jones. 


Bangladesh to benefit 
from Japanese textiles. 

Tokyo. Oct .24.— Japan is 
considering sending surplus tex¬ 
tile stocks to developing coun¬ 
tries as economic aids., official 
sources said today. This would 
help to alleviate the slump in 
the Japanese textile industry. 

Officials at the Ministry of 
International Trade and Indus¬ 
try said a decision was expected 
soon on a plan to supply cloth¬ 
ing to Bangladesh, where there 
is a shortage. 

Japanese newspapers say che 
grant to Bangladesh would be 
worth 3.000m yen (about £4.3m) 
hut the officials said the figure 
had not been finalized.—Reuter. 


Tokyo, Oct 24.—Mr Taroichi 
Yoshida, Deputy Minister of. 
Finance ; for International 
Affairs, said today that the 
ministry and Bank of Japan 
were not attempting to main¬ 
tain the'value of the yen at any 
particular level in the Tokyo 
foreign exchange market- 

He said at a press conference 
that he wanted to clarify re¬ 
marks made earlier this week by 
Mr "Masayoshi Ohira, Finance 
Minister, who said that the 
government was placing top 
priority on controlling prices 
and stabilizing the yen. 

Mr Ohira had said 300 yen 
to the dollar was a good rare. 
The government had been exert¬ 
ing “utmost efforts” in the 
past to stabilize the yen and 
would continue to do so. 

Mr Ohira was discussing long- 
range policies and nor day-to- 
day market intervention, said 
Mr Yoshida: M We have not 
any intention of intervening 
with some concrete target in 
mind.” But he acknowledged 
the authorities were helping the 
market maintain smooth -trading 
conditions. 

There had been some 
understanding that the yen’s 
exchange rate will be oiain- 


Mr Yoshida attributed r f 

long-term capital accounts i /.rl|T| rf 
into a. 570m (about £30m) (j t ™ 

plus last month from a $ 
deficit the preceding mon

to appear in!974 


It is now generally agreed by all progressive 
companies that there is a continuing need for a 
programme of clear and effective communication 
between the company and the investing public. 

Among the most important means of 
communication available to a company is the 
advertising of the annual results. 

Notable progress has been made in recent 
years in improving the presentation of such 
advertisements. How ever, much remains to be 
done and it is to encourage further progress in 
this important field that The Times has decided 
to sponsor a number of aw ards for the best 
example of the advertising of a company’s results 
to be published in The Times Business News 
during 1974 . 

These awards will be made by an independent 
jury, selected for their understanding of this 
specialised form of communication. 


They will judge entries in accordance with 
the following criteria: an advertisement of a 
company’s results whether the Chairman’s 
statement is or is not included in full or in 
abridged form, should: 

(a) Attract the eye, by reason of its design, 

(b) Be easy to read, by the use of skilful 
typography. 

(c) Contain such information as prospective 
investors or professional advisers are likely 
to require, including details of the business 
carried on by the company. 

(d) Include such illustrations, graphs, or 

diagrams as are necessary to supplement - 
(c) above. - 

(e) Leave the reader with the impression that 
the company concerned would be a good one 
to do business with, to work for, or in 
which to invest.

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 


Ysirdlcy Hastings House : Unusually elegant 


Tlio breaJ;in 2 down of large old 
macrions inin individual units 
is on the increase. even in 
today’s unsettled property mar¬ 
ket. From the developer's point 
of view such a scheme poses 
many difficulties ana not sur- 
pr^inzl.r some are more suc¬ 
cessful than others, since the 
posiubiliiy of error is wider 
than m straight building. 

To some extent the opera- 
tinn is two-edged. On the credit 
side what may be a fine old 
building is saved when other¬ 
wise it might join the ranks 
of the many fine houses that 
for cue reason or another have 
Ji.-'ri to he demolished. On the 
denit sole splitting up such a 
building into viable units to 
sell at a reasonable price is 
an exceedingly tricky opera¬ 
tion in which probably not all 
un.ts can he made to come out 
at the same standard of quality. 
Individual floors nr even rooms 
d'> not necessarily split up into 
well balanced living units. 

From the buyer's point of 
view he m..y well be able to 
acquire a home that is unique 
in character, often with rooms 
of a quality and spaciousness 
that would otherwise be im¬ 
possible for him. In exchange, 
he may have to weigh those 
advantages against an incon- 
vcniert layout and rooms that 
are difficult to furnish. Each 
rareniU buyer must judge lor 
him seif precisely where the 
balance lies. 

For those so minded, a 
couple of typical schemes are 
ju>t coming up to completion. 
One is Miiiurd House, at Mil¬ 
ford-on-Sea. Hampshire, a 
mainly Georgian house which 
is listed u» a grade 11 building 
of special architectural or his¬ 
torical interest. In an opera¬ 
tion carried out by St James's 
Properties I Northern! Ltd, 
with designs by Derek Lovej*»v 
ant! Fenners, it has been made 
ir.to seven units, comprising 
two twM-hcdronm flats and five 
twn-.norcy houses with two to 
four bedrooms. Two units have 
m: yet been released for sale, 
bnt prices for the first five 
urtibi ’•augc between I1S.750 
arrt £30,300. Tlie agents are 
JscfcvH! and Jackson, of Lvm- 
ington and Mil Ford -on-Sea. 

Less historical in background, 
hat ing been built on the sire 
of an old farmhouse in the 
192P*. is The Goodings, at 
V. o tU'.nids Si Mary, near Ncw- 
bi'-y. Berkshire, with e\ten-

Risks on 
converting a 
mansion 


Sons, of Newbury- The de¬ 
velopment is by the Rhodaus 
Property Company and the 
architects are Manning, Clamp 
—Partners. 

For those who prefer totally 
modern construction a good 
property Is Cherry Meadow, at 
Pols lead Heath, Colchester, 
Essex. A modern house with 
extensive grounds is not all 
that common in the market, but 
Cherry Meadow waa built last 
year and has six acres, ft has 
weatherboard cladding to die 
upper parts and a pantiled roof. 
Accommodation includes three 
reception rooms and six bed¬ 
rooms. The six acres comprise 
two acres of rough woodland 
and four acres of paddocks. 
Offers over £50,000 are being 
asked through Strutt and 
Parker. 

A much earlier property in a 
style that appeals to many is 
Stanfields, a village house at 
Rodboraugb. near Stroud, 
Gloucestershire. It is a Cots- 
wold stone building dating from 
the middle of die seventeenth 
century. Renovation is just 
coining up to completion and 
many of the original features 
hare been retained such as oak- 
plank panelling, stone floors 
and spiral staircases. Accom¬ 
modation includes two main 
reception rooms, five bedrooms 
and three bathrooms. On the 
second floor the rooms have 
exposed beams and clerestory 
lighting. There is a garden of 
about a third of an acre and 
the price is £28,000 through 
C. J. Easterbrook and Co, of 
Cheltenham. 

Kid borough House, at Dane- 
hill. Sussex, is older, an Iron¬ 
master’s house dating from the 
e-rly part of the sixteenth cen¬ 
tury with later additions. It 
too lias been subject to exten¬ 
sive renovation. Apart from a 
large lounge hall there are two 
main reception rooms, a study, 
sun room and five bedrooms. 

Gardens and grounds extend 
to about three acres and the 
house itself is approached by a 


private drive 400 yards long, 
over which two other properties 
have a right of way and are 
responsible for part of the.up¬ 
keep. Offers of about £65,000 
are being asked through 
David G. Braxton and Co, of 
UckSeld. 

In the northern part of the 
country an interesting historical 
property is Simonstone Hall, 
adjoining the village of the 
same name in Lancashire, on 
the Whalley to Burnley road. 
Built of Yorkshire stone with 
walls 2ift thick under a grey 
slate roof and with stone mnl- 
lioned leaded windows, it has a 
number of original features. 
These in particular include two 
ceiling beams in the drawing 
room which have an ornate 
design believed to have been 
carved in situ by Italian crafts¬ 
men in the early seventeenth 
century. Curiously, they were 
plastered over in Victorian 
times and only comparatively 
recently rediscovered. Accom¬ 
modation includes two main 
reception rooms and five bed¬ 
rooms, and there is about nine 
acres of well wooded gardens 
and grounds. Offers of about 
£65,000 are being asked through 
Dunlop Heywood and Co. of 
Manchester, and Miller and 
Miller, of Burnley. 

Unusually elegant even for a 
Queen Anne house is a property 
called Yardiey Hastings House, 
at YardJey Hastings, Northamp¬ 
tonshire. Apart from its fine 
exterior, the inside is notable 
for some unusually good wall 
panelling, some of which dates 
from the early eighteenth cen¬ 
tury and originally came from 
Streatham Castle, co Durham, 
and Felling Hall. Newcastle. 

Not unusually large for a 
bouse of its type, it has a 
reception hall, two main recep¬ 
tion rooms, four main bedrooms 
and three attic rooms. There 
are also two staff rooms. With 
12 acres of grounds. It is for 
sale through John D. Wood and 
Co. and expected to make more 
than £100.000. 

Three Chimneys Farm, at 
Ridgewell, near Halstead, on 
the east Suffolk border, is a 
small residential farm with an 
unusual farmhouse. It combines 
-elements of both the Tudor and 
Georgian periods, partly tim¬ 
bered' lath and plaster and 
partly brick. Accommodation 
includes two reception rooms, a 
study and six bedrooms. Some 
modernization is required. 

The properly extends to 
43 acres and Includes a range 
of farm buildings. Due to come 
to auction in November 
through Sworder Jennings, of 
Saffron Walden, It is expected 
to make between £50,000 and 
£60,000.

Did you know that Hitler was a fan of Gary Cooper? Anthony Eden remembers 
tiiis and much else as he talks with Kenneth Harris about the years when he faced 
the dictators (BBC1 10.15). The Money Programme ploughs into the state of farming 
and the price of beef (BBC2 S.15). Cannon does his big daddy detective stuff 
(BBC1 9.25) but students of the cinema get a Russian classic (BBC2 9.25). 
Morecambe and Wise take on David Dimbleby as well as Hughie Green (BBC1 8.15). 
Racing comes from Doncaster today (ITV 2.50) as well as Newbury (BBC2 2.15) and 
international tennis continues (BBC1 11.23).—L.B.

for a bath? 


Life SL'cm.s harder than ever 
for Sophie. She is un active i 
69-year-old widow, obliged to 
live in a nearly derelict 
house. She lives in txvo 
rooms. The other rooms are 
empty, except that cramps 
often occupy them uninvited. 
She has no bathroom, and 
frequently the toilet does not 
work. It will be at least 
another year before the local 
council can even consider 
her need. 

Help the Aged wants to re¬ 
house many more brave old 
people like her. We are pro¬ 
viding all that we can. I 
Simple flats designed for the 
needs of old folk and with 
a friendly warden on call.

help desperately lonely old 
people by providing Day 
Centres where they can 
make friends, and by organ¬ 
izing volunteer visits with 
copies of ‘Yours’, the news¬ 
paper which gix es them new 
interests to remain active. 

If you have something to he 
thankful for, please join in 
putting a happy smile on 
miother despairing face. 
Because of loans available to 
Help the Aged every L2 you 
give provides £40 of housing. 

£150 donation names a fiat 1 
in memory of happy rimes 
with someone dear to you. 
£150 inscribes a name un the 
Founders Plaque of a new 
Day Centre for old people. 
£250 names a double flat.

of oil effectively for the first 
rime in the state’s history. 
In turn, the consortium was 
reassured of a supply of 
Iranian oil until 1993. The 
oil companies have no such 
guarantee of supplies from 
any other state in the Middle 
East. 

The road was clearly sign¬ 
posted before the October 
war. Iran, suffering like 
other developing countries 
from enormous increases in 
the costs of imported commo¬ 
dities, was going to demand 
what it saw as a fair price for 
its own energy resources. The 
Shah has suggested, for 

example during his tour this 
autumn of Asia and the Paci¬ 
fic, that oil should be indexed 
to other specified commodi¬ 
ties. 

This tour underlined Iran’s 
ambition co become a major 
power in the entire region 
stretching from Central Asia 
right across the Indian 

Ocean. The Indian Ocean 

common market advocated by 
the Shah would be a defence, 
as well as an economic group¬ 
ing embracing Australia, In¬ 
donesia and India.. The Shah, 
leader of a nation whose 

militar y capability guarantees 
it predominance in its own 
immediate region, would like 
nuclear weapons taken out of 
the Middle East, and Soviet 
and American submarines 
simultaneously withdrawn 
from the Indian Ocean. 

On the surface, the United 
States and Iran. have had 
their differences in the con¬ 
frontation between oil con¬ 
sumers and producers. But 
both have probably too much 
in common to let such epi¬ 
sodes seriously affect their 
cooperation. Iran, after all, 
has the Soviet Union next 
door, and in spite of going to 
different states for their tech¬ 
nology^ including Japan, Ger¬ 
many, France, Britain and 
Italy, there- is no sign that 
Teheran is failing to appre¬ 
ciate the merits of close con¬ 
tact with the biggest indus¬ 
trial power. 

Meanwhile, Iran continues 
to do business with her Soviet 
neighbour. The Russians 
built Iran’s first integrated 


Britain and Iran have a spe¬ 
cial relationship which has 
become even closer as a 
result of the changing oil 
scene. Part of the founda¬ 
tion for this relationship was 
laid more than four years 
ago by the Confederation of 
British Industry. This activ¬ 
ity led to an unprecedented 
top-level conference on in¬ 
vestment opportunities held 
In Persepous last November. 
It was attended by 70 British 
businessmen led by L®rd 
Tfiotneyeroft, who discussed 
various aspects of invest¬ 
ment with many of their

A Statement by Arya National Shipping Lines 


ADVERTISEMENT 


IRAN’S FLOATING 


The story of Arya National Shipping Lines is very much a case of metamorphosis—something not alien 
to-the affairs of present aod modern Iran. 

In just over a period of three years, a shipping line with a modest image is managing to float along a 
sailing course that accepts no boundaries. A tiny fleet is now a fleet of reasonable a small carrying 
tonnage is now far above a million, and an initial capital of 250 million rials is now one billion and three 
hundred thousand million rials. 

Arya National Shipping Lines is today responsible for taking 90 per cent of Iran’s non-oil export trade 
to the outside world, and is playing an increasingly bigger pari in bringing to the country the goods that 
it needs. 

A success story of such nature, of course, is presumed rightly to have strong backing and support. Arya 
received the best. 

His Imperial Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr, realizing too well the importance dF a strong merchant 
navy to the continued economic, political and social growth -of the country, directed the creation of the 
company, giving it unreserved support. In an address in 196G, His Imperial Majesty brought ro a produc¬ 
tive conclusion the long-standing debate concerning a national shipping lines that had stretched for over 
a decade by announcing that “ shipping, like steel mills, is parr of our national policy ”. 

• In fact the need for a merchant navy was felt far later in Iran than had been in nunv other nation*. 
The sudden acceleration, of the development programmes of the country, die expansion nf Iran's foreign 
trade, the increasing volume of imports of machinery and technical equipment for the industrialization of 
the country and in general the transformation of Iran as a result of the White Revolution, were just some 
of the elements that focused attention on the need for a national shipping line. 

If it were not for the blessings that have been increasingly besrowed Dn Iran through the enlightened 
leadership of His Imperial Majesty, maybe Iran wou Id still be ignoring marine navigation as a viral mode 
of transportation—a tendency that finds its roots in the geographical characteristics and trade patterns of 
ancient Persia. 

THE BIRTH 

Arya’s history actually began in 1957 when rhe government and the private sector joined forces m launch Iran’s floating 
baby. The capital for this now fully-subscribed company was provided b.v Bank Melli, the Industrial and Mining Develop, 
ment Bank of Iran, the Industrial Credit Bank, the Iran Insurance Company and by a number of the country's leading 
industrial groups. There was ar the time only “ Ra7i ” and “ lbn-e SJna ’’—two small merchant ships of 9B3 ami 1536 
tonnage respectively—carrying the flag. They had no choice but to limit their activities to the Persian Gulf area, awaitius 
the arrivals of new mates at sea, which enabled Arya to operate services to Europe by 1970. 

However, it was from 1971 that the actual activity propelling.Arya began. The number of ships sailing under the Arya 
flag multiplied from a meagre four to 21 in operation today. Another five sophisticated vessels under construction at pre¬ 
sent in Poland will join their sisters at sea within a couple of months. 

The Arya fleet is well equipped and modern. The ships are fast raaneouvrinc. most of them with speeds of up tn 21 
knots and cargo lifting capacity of 200 tons. With the exception of three steam turbine vessels, tile remainder of the 
fleer is propelled by diesel engines designed mostly by “ Sulzer " of Switzerland and " B & W ” of Copenhagen. 
Within these three years the services operated b.v Arya. have also undergone great expansion, covering America. Japan 
and Europe, thus giving it access to the major international shipping routes. The company right now operates the follow¬ 
ing services : 

r nif Inner Beltline Service 
Persian Gulf — Continental Europe (North Continent) 

Persian Gulf — Japan and Far East 
Persian Gulf — Mediterranean 

CONFERENCES 

Shipping lines, as one expects, provide regular and frequent services between different parts of the world for the car¬ 
riage of every conceivable kind of cargo in consignments large and small. Tbey do this, however, at previously advertised 
fixed charge*, through the liner “ conference system Arya being a member of five conferences—which first began 
to be practised in the United Kingdom-Calcutta trade hack in 1375. 

The object of the conference system is in fact to regulate uneconomic competition. The shipping companies nf differ¬ 
ent ownership and nationality that operate services between the same range of ports form a conference agreement 
to regulate rbe freight rates that they will charge for each type of goods carried. In some cases the conference allo¬ 
cates a specified number of sailings to each company and in all cases the conference gives the shipping lines the pro¬ 
tection they are entitled to against the casual ship that can pick up cargo anywhere at cut rates. 

The conference system also allocates cargoes to shipping lines and plays a very important role in keeping regular 
shippers of goods Joyal to conference vessels. One means rhe conference system employs is to offer regular shippers of 
goods a deferred rebrie system by which such people receive a rebate of a percentage of the tariff freight rata pro¬ 
vided they use conference vessels exclusively. 

The conferences that Arya has joined are :— 

(1) The Associated Continental Middle East Lines, “ ACMEL which is one of the conferences that deter¬ 
mines the number of sailings each company can undertake ; 

The Mediterranean Middle East Conference, " Medmecon ’*; 


Persian Gulf — Red Sea 

Persian Gulf — United Kingdom 

Persian Gulf — US East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico 


The ^Japan Conference, “ Japparoon 


f2) 

W - a 

(4) The RCD Conference ; 

(5) The Japan/India—Pakistan—Gulf/Japan Conference. 

Arya's sailings allocated by “ ACMEL ” enables it to have an annual 36 sailings to Europe, 24 sailings to America and 
24 to Japan. This means that an Arya ship can sail to Europe three times a month and to Japan and America twice 
monthly. Once Arya fee Is the need'to increase its sailings, it can ask the conference 10 revise its allocations at any 
time.

PERSONNEL 

Expansion of the fleet, of course, as one can easily understand, emails tbe expansion of an important department in 
a shipping company—the Personnel Department. In the case of Arya. the personnel section has had a great deal to 
tackle. It started its proper activities at the same time as the company started its growth period in 1971. Up to that 
period affairs relating to the personnel of the Arya vessels were under the care of a foreign group. 

Arya took over the management of the personnel department and embarked upon a course that is beaded towards 
complete independence. Arya’s aim is to reach a state when Iranians will manage to take over the full operation of 
the vessels—a goal that may be attained within a period of no more than 10 years. 

When, in 1971. the policies of the personnel department were clarified, the number of foreign staff on tbe Arya 
payroll was 60 per cent or the manpower. Today, after three years, Iranians make op 65 per cent of the staff, while 
only 33 per cent is comprised of people of other nationalities. In numbers, there are right now 570 Iranians and 
223 foreign officers on 22 Arya snips in operation. 

Becaui« of the demonstrated success of the personnel department of Arya. the shipping line is in a relatively good 
position concerning recniirmenr of the staff It requires. It has been offering good pay and fringe benefits and as a 
result has been getting first-class staff for its vessels. 

To realize the extent of cooperation within Arya which has given it vitality and -drive, it helps to know that today 
Arva has 32 qualified deck officers out on its vessels. These officers are In fact foe result of foe programme of 
Arya’s training department, whicb is looking to the future with great alertness and seriousness. 


TRAINING 


Realizing the future need for technical expertise in running the ships and given rhe policy of the company to have 
its vessels fully operated by Iranians, Arya embarked upon a vast trainia; programme that is to cost foe company a 
grand two billion rials. 

The aim is clear. Arya is going to train enough Iranian officers, engineers, technicians and crew to completely man 
its fleet. For that a period of 10 years has been mentioned. More specific and nearer in foe future is foe programme 
lor Training 1.500 officers, engineers and technicians and 1,500 ratings by the end of foe current Fifth National Deve¬ 
lopment Plan, winch has entered its second year. 

There are rwo training programmes run by Arya. The first is a short theoretical and practical course organized 
inside the country for the training of ratings and technicians. In recruiting for tbe programme priority is given to 
vounc men mini the smith of the country, in other words the coastal areas, because of the evident familiarity of 
coastal inhabitants with the sea and their general love for maritime activity. The second is a programme under 
which Iranians are trained as officers and engineers abroad. 

At present five groups, consisting of 20 each, are in England and Belgium. They started with a one-year language 
course at home, going on In England or Belgium for two six-month college courses and two one-year service 
training. As third officers they will serve on Arya ships for a further period of one year before graduating. 
Training of engineers or engine officers follows similar patterns with the starting position on the vessel being foe third 
engineer. For radio officers, the training is shorter and takes a period of two-and-a-half years. 

The number nr Iranians undergoing such training is to increase to 300 within 197* and to even greater numbers in 
the nest few sears. 


Arya, as one can clearly assume, has not, and no doubt will not. set limitations on the amount of money it will spend 
on acquiring ihe staff, both floating and administrative, it requires for its continued growth. 


EXPANSION 


Acquisition of ninre vessels is nf course taken for granted with Arya. The eventual size of the fleet will be a matter 
^f^Wtesswork. though expansion to 60 vessels and perhaps even more seems almost a certainty over foe next four 


If Arya does tkh.ii is expected of it, then it will gain a position of veal distinction among the merchant marines of 
Inc world Not thJi it already docs not today. Even though still in its infancy, statistics verify that Arya is among the 
top up-conung merchant marines of the world, some of which have a century or more of existence and experience 
behind them. 


Among Arya s expansion plans arc the acquisition of 50 barges and 10 bulk-cargo carriers—a new field to be entered 
*rito hv Ana on the international level. It is presently active in hulk-cargo tra ns portation in the Persian Gulf area 
through the services m Hie other existing shipping company in Iran, the South Shipping Line, which Arya purchased 
and mok under its control recently. 

Miother field Arva is considering is the ** container system ” shipment, under which general cargo can be traits- 
ported in containers of any si 2 e ranging from 20 to 40 tons. The fact that containers are far easier to load and un- 
» j a , ,n *" c fro**bility an d attractiveness of this service. 

And still there arc other expansion possibilities. Arya could go into “ third-party ** cargo transportation, it could 
acquire supply vessels or go for the less sophisticated cadet training ship. 


COMMUNICATIONS 


To maintain a well organised fleet that offers the best service, Arya is not neglecting to draw up plans for the 
provision of a good communication system. Two possibilities arc being studied. One is to join a satellite commun¬ 
ication system to bo created m 1975, under which each member shipping line will be provided with world coverage 
enabling it to have a full control of its vessels wherever they may be. 

The other is ihe •• *.liort-side-ham* " system through wiuch the shipping line can again maintain full control of Sts 
vessel'! through a radio system that provides direct link. 

To manage ihiv extension Anr* plans to create additional branches abroad. At present it has four brandies in Lon¬ 
don. New 1 oi-k, Tohyii and Kuwait. Genera] Agents representing Arya can be found anywhere from the Persian 
Gull to the Ki?u scj, hast Africa, Japan, Far East, the United Scales, northern ports of Europe and England^ 


COOPERATION 


foe ports to ihe consumer areas, great efforts must be made. Loading and unloading facilities have to be Increasingly 
improved in order tu allow for the most efficient 'itlli?-»rtan of the ships. 

Fortunately, all evidence points to a close cooperation between Arya and the Port Authorities, since we have now 
had a period of three vears that has left a sweet smell of success in its trail. 

The financial results of the past three years also confirm foe success which has been attained by Arya National 
Shipping Lines as an integrated business venture. From operating at a loss, Arya has shown a profit of 130 million 
rials over th»s penntj. The upward trend of the net profit In this period is in fact not only interesting but also very 
explu.it In the 1971-72 financial year, the profit was 27 million rials. In foe 1972-73 year, however, tbe profit in¬ 
creased to 103 million rials. This year's profit is anyone’s guess. 


THE SHIPPING LINE 

I: may he relevant to note here that when the ship, in its primitive form, emerged in the remote past; foe sea, up 
to then a barrier to intercourse between societies, became a highway across which men travelled for foe exchange of 
goods and ideas. Ideas today travel very fast and by means inconceivable even to foe peoples or foe past century. 
But what about the goods ? 

C'lOds, today comprising evert thing conceivable, and in constantly increasing quantity have to cross foe seas and 
orean>. They are essential to the livelihood and In some cases foe existence of peoples everywhere. What does this 
mean for a ship and in a larger context the shipping line? 

The a-iMver in fact guarantees the future of foe shipping line, for the ship is a vial instrument of world trade and 
c**cmta! service to commerce. 

For iron, a nation rapidlv climbing foe ladders of industrialization, Arya National Shipping Line is perhaps even 
more than that. 


This still leaves a credibil¬ 
ity problem. Some of the 
i economic and social -objec¬ 
tives now being set by Iran 
seem excessively inflated to 
British businessmen. Apart 
from deciding to' have three 
SI,000m oil refineries, each 
with an integrated petroche¬ 
mical plant costing a similar 
amount beside it, the Iran¬ 
ians have such apparently 
grandiose schemes as foe 
building of 800,000 homes 
by 1978. Vast sums are to 
be spent on communi¬ 
cations, including railway 
electrification. 

The Persian answer is to 
point to what has been done 
since 1963. They now have 
much more money, and the 
chief problem from their 
point of view is lack of the 
technology which the West 
and Japan can supply. 

While foreign investors 
naturally think of the pros¬ 
pects offered by industrial 
expansion, and agricultural 
improvement, there are 
ambitious aims for tbe social 
services. Full details of 
the revised fifth plan have 
not yet been officially 
released, but reliable esti¬ 
mates put proposed govern¬ 
ment expenditure for boos 
ing, education, health and 
welfare at more than 
£2,000m. 

This may be a sector 
suited to the British, who 
lack the scale of technology 
available to the Americans 
and have shown a tendency 
to concentrate on less flam¬ 
boyant projects than the 
French. Tbe British, of 
course, are involved in 
production of the Shah’s 
favourite aircraft, the 
Concorde, and therefore 
may still earn high marks 
for prestige. 

Apart from the strategic 
heights of steel and petro¬ 
chemicals, the Iranians are 
particularly looking for 
foreign participation in en¬ 
gineering, notably mechani¬ 
cal engineering, the automo¬ 
tive industry, and elec¬ 
tronics. for example, the 
manufacture of ‘ microwave 
equipment. One theory 
among technocrats is that 
Iran should specialize, 
producing certain textiles 

and a limited range of com¬ 
ponents. 

Educated Persians, many 
of whom were trained in 
Britain, France and Ger¬ 
many seem to experience a 


compulsive need to identify 
with Europe. There is no 
shortage of answers to ques¬ 
tions about why a Western 
European firm should think 
about going into a joint 
manufacturing venmre as 
far away as. Iran. Loading 
Iranians describe their 
country as near to Europe, 
or even- as on the eastern 
boundary of Europe. 

Beyond tbe rhetoric, the 
Iranian argument begins to 
make some ‘ commercial 
sense. The Iranians are try¬ 
ing to build themselves up 
into a major industrial 
exporting nation. Iran has 
bilateral economic agree¬ 
ments with the Comecon 
countries and 20 other 
nations: goods manufac¬ 
tured in Tran can be

INVESTMENT IN IRAN 





THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 


A less taxing situation for foreign firms 

V by a Special Correspondent — 


! Good investors are as wcl 
- : come in Iran as they ever 

- were, though the emphasis 
_|is no longer on capital, 
■'what the country needs 
' tmosi > s modern technology 
, .and advanced management 
"Jot its industry, mining and 

agriculture. 

.* , It is easy for Iran to buy 

- ibeni both, but experience 
“has, shown that hired 

1 , foreign advisers or man* 
■ agers do not always turn 

. out to be_ the best or the 
1 ' most efficient. “ To ensure 
the success of a project the 
best way is to financially 
involve the other side ”, one 
senior government official 
said in Tcherau recently. 
♦•This means some capital 
Investment by the foreign 
partner, just enough to con- 
’ ; cern him about a good 

'return on his money." 

..Given the present tight* 

. ness of money in the United 
Kingdom, this could be ao 
' ideal arrangement for Bri- 
• tish business and industry. 

.-..The laws affecting the 
-- attraction and protection of 
foreign investment were 
V:..*PP r °ved several years ago 
when Iran was acutely short 
of capital. The main' incen- 
lives offered are a rebate 

on import duty for material 
i! used for the manufacture of 
. export products; fairly 
* .'...cheap credit for financing; 
and a negotiable subsidy of 
up to 10 per cent on the cora- 
: panys export turnover. 

Tax holidays of from five 
to 10 years are offered and 
j. 1 tax exemption of from 20 

per cent to 100 per cent, 
depending on the product 
.,,. and location of the industry 
, within the country. For 
„-.’L “example, there is a 10-year 
..■■■tax exemption for income 
earned from the develop- 
. ? nenr of products considered 
essential for the country’s 
economic growth. These are 
listed by the ministries con- 
' ceraed. 

Further, Iran does not im- 
V pose any sales or purchase 

tax, with the result that, 

according to the president 
of the Iran Chamber of 
Commerce, Industry and 
Mines, Senator Taber Ziai, 
some companies realize up 
to one third of their io- 
,vested capital in net profit. 

—ii .-In the past many foreign 
(companies have complained

primary centres of industrial growth. 


Opportunities for UK financial insight 


(Bank Markazi) asked all 
banks to increase their capi¬ 
tal. Alter more than 10 
years of consolidation in 
banking, four new banks 
were founded in Teheran in 
1973. Among them was the 
Development and Investment 
Bank of Iran, which has 
American, German and 
Japanese participation. 

Chase Manhattan and 
Bank Saderat have been 
licensed for a joint venture, 
with Chase having 35 per 
cent of the eouiiy. Accord¬ 
ing to one hanker, ix was 
n»w most unusual to get 
better terms titan a 35 per 
cent holding. But this still 
leaves a net increase in 
foreign invest men t com oared 
with the days when 49 per 
cc;ii was the norm for the 
overseas partner. 

Thy Development and In¬ 
vestment Bank, while similar 
in structure lu tlic privately 
owned Industrial and Mining 
Development Bank of Iran, 
operate', on a smaller scale. 
The IMDB1. founded in 1931) 
and headed by one of the 
k“v Ficure* in Iran's econo¬ 
mic (ake-uff. Air Abol Gasem 
Kheradjou. is the main 
agency for helping to set up 


joint ventures and arranging 
loans. During the past 
decade the batik has helped 
to finance about 60 per cent 
of all private sector invest¬ 
ment in Iran. 

The British financial role 
in Iran was already greater 
than appeared on the sur¬ 
face. In industry, on the 
other hand, the name of a 
joinr venture company is 
more likely to indicate over¬ 
seas involvement. The 
B shares of the IMDBI are 
held by foreign interests, in¬ 
cluding Barclays Bank Inter¬ 
national. the British Bank of 
the Middle Bast, Lloyds 
Rank, the Midland Bank, 
Simon Carves and Cushion 
Trust. 

The extension of Iranian 
hanks in Loudon demon¬ 
strates their confidence in 
the City's financial services. 
Encouraging noises, tnn, 
about relevant British skills 
in many fields, such as mer¬ 
chant banking and broking, 
arc to be heard in Teheran. 
Persians are not noted for 
trusting cacb other, but ihcv 
appear to trust British 
bankers. 




tors and make their own 
assessments. The law pro¬ 
vides for appeal, though, ro 
the ministry's own machin¬ 
ery. To discourage excessive 
assessment it is laid down 
that if the figure Finally 
fixed by the board of appeal 
is more than 20 per cent 
less than the assessment the 
tax inspector will be cen¬ 
sured. 

However, since members 
of the appeal board are his 
colleagues, they seldom 
reduce the assessment by 20 
per cent, merely to avoid 
embarrassment. 

The inability of foreign 
companies to follow the 
exact. letter of the Iranian 
tax law appears to be the 
single most serious problem 


of overseas investors, espe¬ 
cially when the foreign 
partner is also entrusted 
with the management of the 
undertaking. However, the 
situation is generally alle¬ 
viated by the fact that all 
companies not only have 
Iranian partners . fully con¬ 
versant with the law but 
also employ skilled legal 
advisers. 

The prospective investor 
would do well to remember 
a remark often repeated by 
businessmen—and echoed by 
several British negotiators 
at the investment con¬ 
ference held at Persepolis a 
year ago—that the Iranians 
are a race of negotiators, 
willing to keep investors 
waiting indefinitely while 


they attempt to extract 
better terms. 

The manufacturing indus¬ 
tries earmarked are motor 
vehicles, building materials, 
cellulose printing and elec¬ 
trical goods. Investment in 
these can be expected to be 
encouraged as a priority, as 
well as in any others th3t 
will help the country with 
its policy of industrializ¬ 
ation. 

The upward revision of 
the plan, based on the 
country’s increased oil 
revenue, under the new 20- 
year purchase agreement 
with the consortium, affects 
mainly the sTeel, petro¬ 
chemical and textile indus¬ 
tries. 

Another factor likely to 


affect the degree of incen¬ 
tive given to foreign invest¬ 
ment is regional disparity. 
Since 1968 there has been 
an embargo on the estab¬ 
lishment of new plants in 
and around Teheran and, 
with the exception of the 
cement, bread aod a few 
other industries, it will con¬ 
tinue to be rigidly applied. 
This is nor only to reduce 
the effects of excessive cen¬ 
tralization but to conserve 
water; Teheran’s rapacity 
for growth is at present 
limited by a shortage. 

The primary centres oF 
industrial growth are to be 
Isfahan, Ahwaz, Tabriz and 
Arak. with secondary 
centres in Rasbt Mashhad 
and Shiraz.

INVESTMENT IN IRAN 



THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 


Investors must be 




by Denis Taylor 

British companies contem¬ 
plating joint ventures should 
not ,be under any illusions 
that Iran is an eaisy. market. 
On the surface there are few 
obstacles in. the way of the 
prospective foreign interest. 

Although government 
policy is now to limit over¬ 
seas holdings in joint ven¬ 
tures io a minority of the 
equity, there' is no prohibi¬ 
tion in law of the extent of 
foreign participation. 

If, for example, the out¬ 
side partner is ready to share 
overseas sales markets, it 

may be possible that the nqn- 
I rani an will be allowed to 
hold more than 49 per cent. 
But the time for which such 
an arrangement is allowed 
will certainly be limited. . 

In Teheran this month 1 
was assured that, if an out¬ 
side firm wanted to set upi in 
Iran to export 100 per cen< 
of its production, the auth¬ 
orities would not be averse 
io_ foreign majority owner¬ 
ship in a joint venture. In¬ 
vestment in agricultural 
business is normally exempt 
from limitations on foreign 
majority stakes. 

Although the theoretical 
maximum foreign participa¬ 
tion in most cases is 49 per 
cent, the most commonly 
quoted yardstick is one of a 
nvo-fifrhs foreign .chare in a 
joint venture. Final approval 
for a venture is given bv the 
Ministry of Economic Affairs 
and Finance, an umbrella 
department which has taken 
over the functions of the 
Centre for the Attraction 
and Protection of Foreign 
Investments (CAPFT). This 
was formerly run from the 
Central Bank. 

Mr Farrokh Najraabadi, 
Minister for Industries and 
Mining, expressed the 
[ Iranian attitude this way: 


- We want to be absolutely 
sure tixat, when a foreign 
investor comes to Iran.- he 
doesn’t come for a qmck 
buck. If he really wants to 
make money here, die basic 
philosophy is that he snould 
associate himself with the 
prosperity of Iran. 

“ In so. far as he does this 
and also prospers, this we 
would like to see." 

This statement quints 
to the tough negotiating 
which the intending investor 
is likely to face. The Iran¬ 
ians, their confidence rein¬ 
forced by the money now at 
their disposal, increasingly 
can pick and choose the out¬ 
side firm which they wish to 
have in the country- Several 
enterprises. American, Jap¬ 
anese, German, Italian and 
British may afj be interested 
in a prospective deal. 

During the course of dis¬ 
cussions—and ibis is always 
assuming that his is the con¬ 
cern the Iranians prefer and 
he has got as far as substan¬ 
tive negotiations—the for¬ 
eign industrialist may think 
a deal is almost settled. He 
may find that this conclusion 
does not tally wi*h that of 
die Iranians,- and be. may 
begin to wonder if the mat¬ 
ter will ever be satisfactorily 
concluded. 

The manouemug can test 
die applicants' _ nerves, 
patience and stamina, and 
the teething stage may con¬ 
tinue to be difficult. But the 
overwhelming verdict of in¬ 
vestors is that everything is 
worth it in the end. A suc¬ 
cessful operation in a coun¬ 
try where there has not been 
a single bankruptcy for years 
seems a good reward for 
those with real business 
iustincts. 

There is a touch of the 
gold rush about Teheran, and 
businessmen and technicians 
who feel unfulfilled by the 
recessionary climate outside. 


can lose some of their inhibi¬ 
tions. fti such an economy, 
even rising inflation, unoffi¬ 
cially assessed at 20 per cent, 
.does not produce the nerv¬ 
ous reflexes that it would in 
the West. 

Nothing is wrong with 
m akin g a general on-the-spot 
assessment of the opportuni¬ 
ties in Teheran, although 
making appointments may 
prove difficult. But organ! 
zarions, like the Industrial 
and Mining Development 
Bank of Iran want ro deal 
with specific proposals. The 
IMDB1 is the best source of 
money and advice for 1 in¬ 
vestment. offering a wide 
range ' of consultancy serv¬ 
ices. It is a development 
agency as well os a banking 
institution. . 

The bank, in spite of being 
interested in firm ideas, is 
ready to discuss a project at 
an early stage, in order that 
past mistakes such as over¬ 
investment can be avoided, 
and will identify feasible pro¬ 
jects and bring Iranian and 
foreign investors together. 
The IMDBI will wane to go 
into a host of details, inclu¬ 
ding the availability of lab¬ 
our and raw materials, and 
the ability of the internal and 
export markets to absorb 
production; eoough prof li¬ 
ability to repay loans, and 
the prospective investor's ex¬ 
perience and competence in 
management. 

It may come as a surprise 
chat, while Iran desperately 
needs the management skills 
and technology of the outside 
world, there should be a ten¬ 
dency to be critical of some 
of the executive standards 
provided by foreign enter¬ 
prises. 

The Iranian argument is 
that, even before the four¬ 
fold rise, in oil prices, man¬ 
agement was being given a 
lower investment priority 
than technology but a higher 


place than finance. After a 
time the Iranians came to 
the conclusion that they 
were not getting management 
skill of the necessary quality. 

When- they thought about 
it. this only seemed logical. 
Companies would want to 
keep their first-class men at 
head office. So the Iranians 
decided that they would 
sometimes be better off with 
Iranian, rather than with 
some of the expatriate staff 
they were getting. It is claim¬ 
ed in -Teheran that, since 
these foreigners were trans¬ 
ferred home, the operations 
in question have Men run¬ 
ning much more smoothly. 

Iranian managers, it is said 
with unchalJengable logic, 
know Iranians better and, of 
course, the labour force is 
local. The Persians are.proud 
of their work force, and!em¬ 
phasize their strong tradition 
of craftsmanship, their-quick¬ 
ness to learn processes .and 
their adaptability. _ 
Foreigners rend to be 

highly complimentary about 

the performance of • the 
western-trained - technocrats 
at the top of the Iranian gov¬ 
ernment. banking and busi¬ 
ness organizations, but to be 
less impressed than the Per¬ 
sians seem to be whit their 
own middle management and 
labour. 

There are vast regional dif¬ 
ferences and the same cri¬ 
teria are not always applied 
to assembly work and more 
individual tasks, and spine 
outsiders are more -satisfied 
than others. In any case, .pro- 
ductivky remains high, ex-' 
cept in agriculture. 

Would-be investors should 
take special care in chodsing 
I roman partners. This judg¬ 
ment should not simply be 
done on the basis of normal 
economic criteria. For oil its 
modernization, Iren remains 
a distinct society with, its 


own conventions. The mater¬ 
ial progress being achieved 
means that the contradictions 
are magnified. Business 
methods range from those 
learnt in the bazaar to those 
imparted at the Harvard 
Business School. 

The outsider needs a part- 
' ner who understands the 
Iranian system, and is soci¬ 
ally . well enough placed to 
have influence within it. A 
degree of bribery is part of 
the Iranian system, but the 
foreigner may never be 
directly aware of die dona¬ 
tions which can aiL the 
. wheels;' 

• On the general question of 
honesty, one British business¬ 
man ■ was -scathing about the 
attitude .of suppliers in the 
United Kingdom. “ British 
firms tend to operate on the 
principle that they are not 
going to get paid ”, he said. 

“ Few companies in England 
will give Iran confidence and 
trust, _ and they lose out. 
Sometimes the Iranians are 
-slow payers, but they are 
good payers.” 

Iranians are .proud. Their 

wealth is new, but they have 
a long heritage and things 
must be done, the Iranian 
way. Although they have ex¬ 
perienced episodes like Bri¬ 
tish and Soviet control and 
the past deans nation of the 
oil . companies, the Iranian? . 
have had a very different 
past from- that of the colon¬ 
ized peoples of Asia. The 
Persians do not defer to 
foreigners, and anyone doing 
business there must get used 
to adapting. 

Iran knows it has only a 
limited, time in which to in¬ 
dustrialize. On the other 
hand, this pressure means 
that the Iranians- arc pre¬ 
pared to take their time in 
finding the best technology 
from the outside world, and 
the intending investor should 
remember this, • • 


Technology is the key to any partnership 




by a Special 
Correspondent 

The development of a com¬ 
prehensive chemical industry 
based on Iran’s oil and gas 
reserves is one of the major 
planks in the nation’s indus¬ 
trialization programme. 
Petrochemicals are also the 
only sector of the oil-based 
industry where there is any 
real opportunity for direct 
foreign iuvestment. 

The oil industry is now 
firmly under die control of 
the National Iranian Oil 
Company who will be spend¬ 
ing large amounts of money 
on expanding production but 
do not want foreign partners, 
except in the exploration 
work. 

The gas industry, an off¬ 
shoot of NIOC’s operations, is 
in a similar position. The 
opportunities for - supplying 
goods and services are good 
but there is no possibility of 
getting even a liny stake in 
the industry. 

Although modern petro¬ 
chemical plants are highly 
automated, the growth of a 
major industry will provide 
a large number of job 
opportunities. Petro¬ 

chemicals are broken down 
into two distinct categories; 
there are the major com¬ 
plexes that produce the basic 
building blocks from which 
other chemical products are 
manufactured. 

Investment in these basic 


complexes is so large that 
Iran has decided that this 
area must be reserved for 
the state organizations, 
usually in partnership with 
foreign companies which are 
principally involved because 
of their technological skills. 

But the second tier of the 
industry is very much open 
to foreign investment. 
Opportunities vary widely 
from mulri-miilion pound 
projects to much smaller 
operations turning out 
finished goods. In all cases, 
the Iranians are looking for 
partners with technological 
knowledge. 

Iran's plans for becoming 
a major force in rhe world 
chemical industry are based 
on its reserves of crude oil 
and natural gas. Although 
output schedules for both 
are being increased to boost 
revenues, long-term plans 
for these two industries are 
designed to ensure ample oil 
and gas for use as chemicals 
feedstocks well into the next 
century. 

The planning of hew pro¬ 
jects is at present in a state 
of. flux because of the re¬ 
vision of the five-year plan 
which seems certain to 
double the amount of in¬ 
vestment in chemicals. Like 
other major oij producers 
on die Gulf, Iran has been 
inundated with proposals 
from Western companies for 
new joint projects since last 
winter's supply crisis and the

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 25 1974 


INVESTMENT IN IRAN

Thriving industry helps West in fuel crisis but forces prices up 


by Roger Vielvoye 
Energy Correspondent 

Throughout' last' autumn's 
Arab-Iarael war and the 
resulting embargoes on sup- 
plies of crude oil to the 
llnited States and The Neth¬ 
erlands, and the restrictions 
on deliveries to other parts 
of the world, Iran’s thriving 
oil industry remained un* 
cnonged. The massive off¬ 
shore loading terminal at 
Khar? Island on the Iranian 
side of the Gulf kept topping 
up super-tankers while on 
the other side of the water 
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and 
Abu Dhabi turned down the 
tai*s at their own tanker 

loading points. 

Because the Iranian sup¬ 
plies were uninterrupted, 
the United Srates, Europe 
and Japan were saved from 
the worst effects of the 
Arab restrictions. By jug¬ 
gling their supply schedules 
the international oii com¬ 
panies were able to use 
Iranian crude to ensure that 
no tie of the oil consuming 
nations of dm world suf¬ 
fered too serious depriv¬ 
ations from the lack of sup¬ 
plies. 

- Western -oil consumers 
Can thank the Iranians for 
preserving them from the 
worst effects of last winter’s 
supply crisis but they have 
no reason to feel grateful to 
the country for the part it 
has played in hoisting crude 
oil prices to their current 
levels. In the behind-the- 
scenes manoeuvring imme¬ 
diately before the Arab- 
Israel war and the meetings 
held while the two sides 
were fighting and during 
the aftermath of the con- 
-fiict Iran led the hawkish 
element within the Organiz¬ 
ation of Petroleum Export¬ 
ing Countries (Opec) that 
wanted higher oil prices. 

Even before the Egyptian 
commandos and tanksoegan 
to cross the Suez Canal on 
October 6 Iran was in the 
forefront of the ' Opec 
nations agitating for a fun¬ 
damental revision of the 
relationship between the oil¬ 
exporting nations and the 
international oil companies. 
Opec had been negotiating 
for'a revision of the 1971 
Teheran agreement on oil 
prices, due to run for five 
years. The Opec terms for 
- renegotiation shocked the 
o3 companies when the two 
sides met in Vienna early in 
October, and the companies 
requested an adjournment 
to allow them time to study 
the implications of the Opec 
demands. 

Opec did not wait for the 
companies to respond to 
their proposals. On October 
16 they announced a new 
unilateral pricing policy, that 
would make individual 
countries responsible for 


fixing their own crude 
Prices ivithoirt consulting 
the international oil com¬ 
panies. The first effect of 
this new policy was an im¬ 
mediate 70 per cent rise io 
oil prices. 

A scramble for available 
oil supplies followed the 
October price rises and the 
restrictions on output. 
Iranian oil, not subject to 
any sort of restrictions on 
its destination, was particu¬ 
larly highly _ prized and in 
the auctioning of supplies 
that followed, the Iranians 
were able to command 
prices of more than S17 a 
barrel, mainly from smaller 
Japanese, and American 
independent oil dealers. 

Tn die final weeks of 
1973, Iran led the Opec 
lobby for yet another mas¬ 
sive increase in posted 
prices. It is thought that the 
Iranians were in favour of 
more than $12 a barrel for 
oil,. -but were persuaded, 
mainlj by the Saudi Ara¬ 
bians, that neither the mar¬ 
ket nor. the consuming coun¬ 
tries could stand aq in¬ 
crease of this nature. 

It was perhaps fitting, in 
view of this tough stance 
taken by Iran, that the Shah 
should have been chosen to 
announce to the oil-consum¬ 
ing nations, two days before 
Christinas, that from the 
new year -crude oil ' would 
cost more than Sll a barrel, 
a quadrupling of the effec¬ 
tive price levels before 
October. 

The decision to fix prices 
at this level was influenced 
by the calculations * of 
epee's experts who felt this 
was the minimum cost of 
developing alternative 

sources of energy, particu¬ 
larly shale o3 and tar sands. 
In delivering his announce¬ 
ment the Shah also 
reminded the consuming 
nations that as oQ reserves 
were not an infinite 
resource it was wrong to 
continue to burn it when it 
could be used for far more 
productive purposes such as 
petrochemicals. 

His announcement came 
just over a year after 
he had presented the inter¬ 
national oil companies 
operating in Iran with an 
ultimatum that bad changed 
the whole course of the in¬ 
dustry in the country. Iran 
and the companies had been 
negotiating for some time 
over the future coarse of 
relations between the two 
sides. 

The Shah issued his ulti¬ 
matum : either the compan¬ 
ies could sign a new agree¬ 
ment immediately under 
which they would relinquish 
all managerial responsibility 
on the oilfields in return 
for a 20-year sales contract. 


or they could continue with 
the agreement then in force 
until it expired in 1979 at 
which point they would 
have ro line up with other 
oil companies for supplies 
and receive no preference 
whatsoever. 

Not all the companies, 
particularly the Americans, 
were bappy with the ultima¬ 
tum- Several favoured tak¬ 
ing the Shah at his word 
and continuing the agree¬ 
ment until 1979 and then 
relying on the increased 
output from Saudi Arabia 
for supplies. But BP was the 
largest shareholder and had 
no stake in the huge Saudi 
reserves—a factor that 
helped to persuade the con¬ 
sortium to agree to the 
Shah’s terms. 

As events later in the 
year proved, it was the 
wisest derision they could 
have taken. At the time 
when the Shah presented 
his ultima rum there was 
still talk of Saudi Arabia 
increasing its production to 
20 million tons a year—a 
figure that is no longer 
mentioned. 

The new contract was 
ratified last August. All 
management control was 
relinquished so that rhe 
companies no longer bad 
any say in plans for the 
development and exploi¬ 
tation of reserves or the 
search for new reservoirs. A 
special company to provide 
technical services for the 
National Iranian Oil 
Company (NIOC'), under 
contract, was formed. 

Prices were fixed accord¬ 
ing to genera} levels prevail¬ 
ing in the Gulf. The new 
agreement ensured that the 
Iranians would not receive 
less for their oil than the 
Arabs on the opposite side 
of the Gulf who were still 
operating the posted price 
system and were in the 
course of negotiating parti- 
ripation agreements with 
the international companies. 

Production, from Iranian 
fields is now more than six 
million barrels , a day and is 
scheduled to reach a peak 
of about eight million bar¬ 
rels within the next two 
years. But Iranian reserves 
were the first in the Middle 
East to be exploited and 
after over SO years of con¬ 
tinuous production they are 
nowhere near as plentiful as 
those- of Saudi Arabia and 
Kuwait. 

Because the Iranian 
economy is now beiiig 
geared ud on Western lines, 
oil production must con¬ 
tinue at peak rates at least 
until the mid-1980s to pro¬ 
vide the revenues needed to 
finance industrial develop¬ 
ment. From the companies’ 
point of view, the Iranian 
need For income coincides 



A Teheran refinery, one of the network being built to meet expanding needs within Iran. 


with the time when oil sup¬ 
plies throughout the world 
could be at their tightest- 

Every major oil importing 
country is making its own 
efforts to develop alterna¬ 
tive sources of fuel, and to 
economize in the use of oil, 
but few countries can se¬ 
riously expect their efforts 
to bear fruit until well into 
the 1980s. 

However, running the 
Iranian oil industry at more 
than eight million barrels a 
day for between eight and 
10* years will seriously dep¬ 
lete reserves and by 1985 
the amount of oil. that is 
available to the signatories 
of the long-term contract 
will begin to drop. 

Domestic demand in Iran 
is small but as the results 
of the industrialization pro¬ 
gramme become apparent, it 
will be necessary to divert 
more oil into the. domestic 
market. NIOC estimates that 
domestic sales will rise 
from 284,000 barrels a day 
at present to about 1,500,000 
barrels a day in 1993 — 
approaching the levels of a 
large industrialized country 
like Britain. 

Satisfying a home market 
of this size would make 
NIOC into one of the 
world’s largest oil compan¬ 
ies in its own right. NIOC, 


however, is not prepared to 
remain a domestic body sell¬ 
ing oil to outsiders and 
meeting the demands of the 
local population and in¬ 
dustry. 

First tentative steps into 
the international market 
have already been taken. 
The amount of crude avail¬ 
able to it from the conces¬ 
sion areas formerly held by 
the international oil com¬ 
panies will rise steadily and 
reach about 1,400,000 bar¬ 
rels a day by 1984. At the 
same time NICK) can expect 
its share of crude from 
joint ventures outside these 
concession areas to move 
forward. 

NIOC is involved in 12 
joint-venture companies in 
Iran and holds ar least a 50 
per cent share in each of 
them. So far only four nf 
these joint-venture compan¬ 
ies have put oil discoveries 
they have made into produc¬ 
tion, yielding about 250,000 
barrels a day to NIOC. 

The biggest of these joint 
ventures is the Lapco com¬ 
pany, made up of NIOC, 
Atlantic Richfield, Murphy, 
Sun and Union Oil. Produc¬ 
tion from this source is 
about 200,000 barrels a 
day. Other joint ventures in 
production are Ipoc (NTOC/ 
Amoco) ; Iminoco iNIOC/ 


Agip Phillips, and the In¬ 
dian Oil and Natural Gas 
Commission) and Sirip 
(NIOC/Agip). 

Most of the interest in 
the joint-venture companies 
is ' offshore, but under the 
new agreement with former 
concession holders in Janu¬ 
ary, 1973, 30 per cent of the 
onshore tracts held by the 
companies was relinquished. 
The Iranians are anxious to 
step up exploration work in 
these areas in the hope of 
finding new reserves. The 
low ratio between die size 
of reserves and projected 
peak output is also forcing 
the Iranians to look more 
closely at methods . of 
secondary recovery of oil. 

Higher prices commanded 
by crude oil internationally 
make the expensive work of 
increasing the amount of oil 
recoverable from reservoirs 
economically feasible. Iran 
has for long been sensitive 
about secondary recovery 
and before the new agree¬ 
ment was readied it 
accused the members of the 
consortium of failing to ful¬ 
fil their obligations to 
ensure that reservoirs were 
drained of as much oil as 
current technology would 
allow. 

During the summer, Iran 
invited bids for a large 


amount of new acreage, 
both onshore and offshore, 
including the areas sur¬ 
rounding the consortium’s 
agreement area. It is 
thought that 40 companies 
made bids but because of 
the stringent terms con¬ 
tracts were concluded witb 
only three companies—CFP 
of ’ France, Ultramar, the 
British-based company, and 
Deminex, a consortium of 
West German companies in¬ 
volved in overseas oil 
exploration work. ■ 

Under new Iranian legisla¬ 
tion covering exploration 
licences, companies do nor 
receive any equity particip¬ 
ation. In the event nf a 
commercial discovery, NIOC 
will take over all production 
and development operations 
and sell to the exploration 
company for a limited 
period, up to 50 per cent of 
production at about 5 per 
cent discount off a market 
price to be agreed between 
the two parties. 

This is to recompense the 
exploration company for 
the financial risk, since it 
has to bear all the costs up 
to commercial production 
with no compensation for 
failure. A further undis¬ 
closed discount will be 
allowed for the recovery of 


exploration and develop¬ 
ment expenditures. 

The Demines agreement 
covers two areas—7,810 sq 
km in the Abadan region 
and 6,702 sq km near 
Shiraz. The German com¬ 
pany agreed to a signature 
bonus of $32m, minimum 
exploration commitments of 
565m, and production 
bonuses of S7m. The com¬ 
pany will have purchase 
rights for between 30 and 
45 per cent of production at 
a discount of .1 to 3.8 per 
cent. 

Ultramar paid n cash 
bonus of S4.5m and will 
spend a minimum of S14m 
on exploration over die next 
five years in 7,810 sq km in 
the eastern part of the Lars 
region in southern Iran. 
The company will have the 
right to buy 50 per cent of 
production at a 5 per cent 
discount, reduced to 4 per 
cent if output exceeds 
100,000 barrels a day. 

The third signatory, CFP, 
has acquired rights over 
8,000 sq km in western Lars. 
The French company paid a 
signature bonus of S6in and 
trill spend a minimum of 
S40m on exploration over a 
five-year period. Further 
production bonuses of S5m 
will he made if and when 


E reduction reaches 35 mil* 
on and 75 million barrels. 
CFP has the right to buy 45 
per cent of production for a 
15-year period at a 5 per 
cent discount. 

Later two oilier groups, 
Ashland and Pa (Canadian, 
and Agip of Italy, agreed 
terms for exploration tracts. 

NIOC ventures overseas 
started on a small scale and 
are still at a fairly low 
level. Initial experience was 
acquired in crude oil trad¬ 
ing operations with East 
European countries' in thu 
!ate 1960s. Once the lessons 
of the early trading ven¬ 
tures had been absorbed. 
NIOC decided that it* 
future lay in taking an in¬ 
terest in down-stream mar¬ 
keting operations rather 
than straight crude oil trad¬ 
ing. 

First ni these ioim-veu 
ture projects was set up in 
India where NIOC partici¬ 
pated in a refinery project 
in partnership with the 
Indian Government. Bnth 
Japan and West Germany— 
countries that have no 
based major oil company, 
and rely on the internation¬ 
al oil companies . for the 
bulk of their supplies—have 
been anxious to conclude 
direct-oil sales deals with 
the Iranians. 

Iran told both countries 
rhar it w.'s prepared to con¬ 
sider deals on certain terms. 
Refineries would have to be 
built in Iran and the pro¬ 
duct shipped to the markets 
where NIOC would v:.uu a 
share in the marketing. Ger¬ 
many has accepted these 
conditions and is invnhcd 
in the construction of a 
500,000 barrel-a-d.lv refinery 
on Kharg Island. The Japan¬ 
ese have, for the time 
being, drawn back from 
detailed negotiations of a 
similar deal. 

But the most significant 
deal reached by NIOC dvpi- 
seas so fur has been with 
the American independent 
oil company Ashland Oil. 
NIOC would hnv into Ash¬ 
land's New York state oper¬ 
ations by proriding crude 
oil for its 125.000 Ivirs-I-.f 
day refinery a! Buffalo 
which would" eventually be 
expanded to handle more 
than 400,000 barrels a day. 
But the deal has run into 
temporary difficulties 

because the soaring price of 
crude oil makes the deal an 
expensive one from the 
Iranian point of view. 

Another group, this time 
of American companies, is 
interested in establishing a 
third new- 500.000 baiTcl-a- 
day refinery in Iran. The 
companies in negotiation 
with NIOC on the project are 
Shell Oik Crown Central. 
Apcu and Cities Service.

The 


INDUSTRIAL 

DEVELOPMENT 


AND 

RENOVATION 

ORGANIZATION 

(IDRO) 

Iran’s rapid economic growth of the past decade, 
characterized by a continuously rising rate of indus¬ 
trial expansion, called for the establishment of an 
organization that would give industrial expansion of 
the country a positive direction and ensure the intro¬ 
duction into the country of the latest technology 
compatible with Iran’s particular needs and aptitudes. 
To this end, the Industrial Development and Renova¬ 
tion Organization of Iran (IDRO) came into being in 
1967. 

IDRO is ideally suited to its role as the promoter 
of industry. Based in the public sector, it enjoys 
solidity and reliability while its statutes assure it 
the desired flexibility and autonomy. It is organized 
as a holding company and its corporate functions 
mainly consist of laying down basic policy guidelines 
for its subsidiaries in the form of new industrial lines 
to be promoted, and helping them achieve their goals. 

On the renovational side, IDRO has so far helped 
many ailing industrial concerns back into economic 
viability through a policy of systematic rehabilitation, 
both managerial and technical. 

IDRO’s dual roles of promotion and renovation 
have both been very successful. From a modest 
beginning, when less than half a dozen subsidiaries 
were attached to it, the Organization has grown into 
a weighty, prestigious holding company in which 
there are some 60 subsidiary and associated 
companies. 

IDRO does not compete with but, in fact, sup¬ 
plements the efforts of the private sector in industrial 
fields. Where enough private initiative is not forth¬ 
coming for various reasons such as the immensity of 
the initial capital outlay or the complexity of the 
technology involved or the uncertainty of returns on 
investments, IDRO takes the lead so as to introduce 
the desired technology into the country. As soon as 
returns are assured, the private sector is invited to 
participate. In other cases, where the private sector 
is reluctant to start alone, IDRO enters into partner¬ 
ship with it. There are at present many such joint 
ventures involving the private sector, both domestic 
and foreign. 

In choosing industrial lines to be promoted, 
IDRO is guided by national goals, national and inter¬ 
national industrial trends, and its own well- 
considered judgment. 

The realization of IDRO’s promotional goals is 
substantially aided by a series of cooperation agree¬ 
ments concluded with industrial and business con¬ 
cerns in other countries. Some twenty such agree¬ 
ments. relating to many and diverse products such as 
pumps, electric motors, diesel engines, machine tools 
and construction machinery, are already in existence 
and many more are sure to follow in the years to 
come. 

To promote national engineering capability, 
IDRO has also concluded cooperation agreements 
with a number of internationally renowned industrial 
firms whereby joint ventures are set up for con¬ 
sultancy and engineering/contracting activities. ■ 

There is every indication that IDRO’s promo¬ 
tional role will be greatly enhanced in future. This 
is almost inevitable in view of Iran’s highly dynamic 
economy and its vigorous expansion, the sane and 
sober ambitions of its economic planners to gradually 
substitute industry for oil as a source of income, and 
the “ rising expectations ” of an intellectual elite in 
Iran headed by the country’s leadership, who believe 
that no time should be lost in importing the latest 
technology into Iran and adapting it to the country’s 
actual needs. This, they consider the only reliable 
and reasonable safeguard against the strong dis¬ 
enchantment that is bound to set in if and when the 
oil reserves are exhausted and there is no comparable 
substitute for it. 

These all provide a healthy challenge and an 
immense opportunity for IDRO. It is the sort of 
challenge that any organization dedicated to serving 
national interests faces with much relish. 


Ambitious plans for steel development 


by Peter Hill 

In the early part of the next 
decade the capacity or the 
Iranian steel industry should 
amount to some 15 million 
tonnes a year if all rhe deve¬ 
lopment schemes now in pro¬ 
gress are realized. This level 
of capacity would be equiva¬ 
lent to about half of the ex¬ 
panded output planned bv 
the British Steel Corporation 
by that time under its 10 - 
▼ear development pro¬ 
gramme. 

This comparison illus¬ 
trates the ambitious nature 
of the Iranian steel industry's 
future evolution against the 
background of already rapid 
progress, since it is lass than 
15 years since the cnmitr?** 
first iron and steel company 
was established. 

The expansion of the steel 
industry forms tbc foundation 
of the plan designed to trans¬ 
form Iran into one of the 
world’s leading industrial 
nations, iu the summer the 
Shah announced that the pre¬ 
sent five-year development 
plan—which ends in 1978— 
was being revised with the 
fund allocation to support the 
programme being doubled tu 
some £29,000zn, providing for 
an annua! growth rate of 25.9 
per cent. 

Prompted by the huge in¬ 
crease in the country’s oil re¬ 
venues, the revised plan 
called for a 7 per cent in¬ 
crease in agriculture, a 51-5 
per cent rise, in oil aud gas, 
and a 17 per cent growth in 
industry. As part of the in¬ 
dustrial sector’s growth the 
steel Indus try** capacity 
would be lifted lo about 10 
million tonnes a year by the 
end of the current plan 
period. 

Over the years rhe estab¬ 
lished steel industries of the 
world, or at least many of 
them, have become involved 
in one way or another with 
Tran. Lacking the advanced 
skills needed, Iran has 


reached agreements with 
several countries to provide 
die plant, the technology and 
in some cases part of the 
finance to support the ambi¬ 
tious development schemes. 
In a new departure in July 
the Iranian Government 
bought a 25 per cent interest 
in the steel making subsidiary 
of the German Krupp group 
—the first large-scale invest¬ 
ment by Iran >n western in¬ 
dustry. 

It was in the late 1960s 
that the development of 
Tran's steel industry began to 
gather momentum with the 
construction of a. modern in¬ 
tegrated steelworks at Isfa¬ 
han in cooperation with Rus¬ 
sian interests. This plant 
began production in March 
last year. U was scheduled to 
produce 500,000 tonnes last 
year, rising to.about two mil¬ 
lion tonnes by L97S. 

Many other projects are 
now in' various stages of pre¬ 
paration and construction 
and although there is con¬ 
siderable British involve¬ 
ment through the British 
Steel Corporation the Iran¬ 
ians have shown a marked 
preference for German 
assistance. Four years ago 
Thyssen Stahl union-Export 
Credit secured orders for 
two electric furnaces- and a 
continuous billet caster for 
the Sbahryar works of the 
Iranian - Rolling Mill Com¬ 
pany and in the following 
year Dcmag received an 
order from the same com¬ 
pany for an expansion af the 
medium section and rod 
mills. 

Much of the development 
of the Iranian steel industry 
is based ou the construction 
of direct reduction plants, a 
process which eliminates the 
need for costly blast furn¬ 
aces. Rich deposits of high- 
grade iron ore discovered in 
the southern part of Iran will 
supply these plants, which 
will use natural gas from 
fields near by as the reduc- 


tanr to produce iron pellets 
direct from the ore.. 

Other West German com¬ 
panies which have been in¬ 
volved in supporting the 
Iranian steel industry’s de¬ 
velopment include the Korf 
group, which is to bmld three 
direct reduction plants with 
a combined annual capacity 
of 1 , 200,000 tonnes-for the 
National Iranian Steel Cor¬ 
poration ; August-Thyssen- 
Hutce, which last year sign¬ 
ed an agreement with the 
NISC to build a 330,000- 
tonoes capacity plant; and 
Klockner. Salzgttrer and 
Mannesmann. 

British interest 
in new works 

Last May a consortium of 
five German steel companies 
announced that it was to 
cooperate with Iranian pub¬ 
lic and private sector steel 
interests in the construction 
of a new steelworks at Ban¬ 
dar Abbas- with a capacity or 
2 ^ 00,000 to three million 
tonnes a year of semi-finished 
products for export. But com¬ 
panies from several other 
countries have also been in 
volved. Three years ago the 
Spanish concern Sercobe was 
enraged in negotiations on 
technology and components 
for a new rolling mill, while 
soon afterwards Mexican in¬ 
terests linked up with Iran 
in the construction oF a new 
works at Bandar-e-Shah pur, 
on the Persian Gulf. . 

Nearly a year ago BSC 
(Interna do nail, the company 
which holds and manages the 
British Steel Corporation's 
operations overseas, signed a 
memorandum of understand¬ 
ing with a number of Iranian 
investors from the public and 
private sectors for the con¬ 
struction of a cold rolling 
mill with a capacity of a 
million tonnes a year. The 
BSC was to hold 20 per cent 
of the equity of a new joint 
company, and provide techni¬ 


cal advice and assist in the 
procurement of the hot-rolled 
coil feedstock for the plant. 

It was also emphasized that 
British plant and equipment 
suppliers would be Invited to 
compete for orders worth 
£35m for the miiL Negotia¬ 
tions were said to be well 
advanced in July this year 
but so far there na« been no 
further development. At the 
same time the BSC an¬ 
nounced that it would carry 
out a feasibility study jointly 
with the Iranian Industrial 
& Mining Development Bank 
for the construction of a 
plant to produce ZJftXhOOB 
tonnes a year of semi-finished 
steel products for the domes¬ 
tic and export markets. 

Tn July, too, Italy’s state- 
controlled IRI industrial 
group revealed that it was to 
build a three million tonnes 
a year steel plant at Bandar 
Abbas, with its subsidiary 
companies playing the lead¬ 
ing role in the development 
of the Bandar Abbas area 
including the building of a 
railway.port installations and 
other equipment at a total 
estimated cost of more than 
£1,250m. The project ranked 
as one of the largest entered 
into by an Italian concern 
overseas. 

The new plant will use ore 
from the Gobe-Gohar mines 
and gas from Qeshm island. 
Feasibility studies are due to 
be completed by the end of 
this year. 

The French group Creusot- 
Loire in association with 
Iranian private interests is 
buLding a special steelworks 
as par- of a trade agreement 
between France and Iran, 
while the Japanese corpora¬ 
tions .of Marubeni and Mitsu¬ 
bishi . are involved in a gal¬ 
vanizing venture with another 
Iranian company. This'Diant. 
with a capacity of 40,000 
tonnes a year, is due to begin 
operations towards the end 
of next year. — •

Second World War the in-

lad 1950s. 

. gat with the outbreak of 
fir and Iran's reluctant par- 
jcipaaon in it, the raoder- 
tgtriinn started by Reza 
Eh lost its impetus. After 
|gT War the country was 
'•teed with so many urgent 
robiems that the little 
; feadway- previously made 
as lost. 


The past decade has seen 
some basic changes. Several 
Iranians combined to start 
prospecting, but the rather 
restrictive regulations pre¬ 
sented potential investors 
with problems that would 
have discouraged even the 
most interested parties. 

Mining received a badly 
needed boost when the 
Russians undertook to estab¬ 
lish a modern steel mUJ near 
the central cirv of Isfahan, 
incidentally the sire where 
Che British Steel Corporation 
Is planning to set up a mill 
in cODperaticn with Iranian 
interests over the nexi few 
years. Several sectors of the 
mining industry had to be 
overhauled quickly in read! 
ness to meet the new raw 
material needs. 

Coal is die industry most 
affected and mining in the 
Aiborz Range, which runs 
from south-west to north-east 
across the northern part of 
Iran, has become intensive. 
But a good deal remains to 
be achieved, and when the 
revised regulations are taken 
into consideration, the out¬ 
look for foreign interests 
seems bright. 

The Government intends 
to invest heavily in mining 
over the next two and a half 
years. This is in addition to 
rhe contribution made by 
the private sector. The first 
stage will be the completion 
of surveys. More than 40 
per cent of the country has 


been geologically studied. 
Detailed geological maps of 
700,000 sq km should be 
finished. Basic miners logi¬ 
cal studies will be carried 
out over another 400,000 sq 
km, according to a list oF 
priorities drawn up by the 
mining authorities. When* 
ever preliminary studies are 
encouraging, detailed pros¬ 
pecting should follow imme¬ 
diately. 

Tt is official policy to en¬ 
courage foreign participation 
in both investment companies 
and field operations, where 
knowledge of exploration 
technologies is badly needed. 
As well as revising regula¬ 
tion-: lo give the private sec¬ 
tor more lucrative returns on 
invested capital, the state is 
(banning to help private com- 
pamcr. by test drilling and 
providing technical advice. 

The Government Ls also 
vigorously pursuing a policy 
of extending financial assist¬ 
ance through a mining fund 
and through several banks 
which have special mining 
oifices. Proved deposits will 
be accepted es collateral 
security when credit is made 
a\ ail able to the private sec¬ 
tor. There are also plans for 
large-scale training pro¬ 
grammes within the existing 
educational system to pro¬ 
duce qualified staff for the 
industry. 

Other vital developments 
include the provision of 
water and electricity supply 


lines to most mines and the 
creation of main and access 
roads. Although the chief 
emphasis will continue to be 
op reaching a degree of self 
sufficiency, production for 
export will be particularly 
promoted in some cases. 
These are most likely to _be 

where joint partnerships 
with foreign companies 
would have easy access to 
the markets of Asia and 
Europe. 

An average annua] growth 
rare of nearly 1_4 per cent 
is envisaged for iron-Dfe ex¬ 
ports. Id the short terra, 
mining is expected to main¬ 
tain an annual growth rare 
of more than 22 per cent, 

■ which, considering the poten¬ 
tial, is bound to be even 
higher when the industry 
really gets going in another 
five years. 

Iran has reached an agree¬ 
ment with India to develop 
some of rhat country's, iron 
ore deposits. But it is in¬ 
tended to supply from 
domestic sources the require¬ 
ments of such plants as rhe 
Sarcheshmeh copper smelter 
and the direct reduction 
steel mills which will go into 
operation over the next few 
years. 

Feasibility studies are be¬ 
ing made to decide if it is 
commercially viable to set up 
zinc, lead and ferrochrome 
smelting plants. Here again, 
Iranian deposits would be 
developed to supply rhem. 

While these programmes 


are being carried out by the 
state to encourage fuller par¬ 
ticipation by the private sec¬ 
tor, the Government itself 
will concentrate on several 
specific operations. Among 
these state-run activities are 
the copper of Sarcheshmeh, 
Miduk, Chahar Gonbad, 
Abbasabad and Maragheh's 
the iron ore of Chaghart, 
Bafgh, Tong-e-Zagh and Gol 
Gowhar, and as weli as the 
Aiborz coal that is in the 
vicinity of Kerman and 
Shahrud. 

The Government is putting 
up nearly 93 per cent of pro¬ 
jected investment over the 
next three years. This money 
will be spent on completing 
the Sarcheshmeh copper 
mines ; mining iron ore, coal 
and oriier minerals required 
by rbe steel industry; geolo¬ 
gical surveys, prospecting 
and giving technical and ere 
dit assistance to the private 
sector. Nearly £13m has 
been allocated to the mining 
fund and to specialized banks’ 
mining departments. Total 
government credit earmarked 
for tlic fifth plan is 62,000m 
rials f£395m). 

The next decade will offer 
new prospects for foreign 
companies. The opportuni¬ 
ties lie either in joint ven 
tures in Iran or in the manu¬ 
facture of the mining equip¬ 
ment that will be in great de¬ 
mand for the country’s ex 
pansion programme.

massive new Joan and subsi¬ 
dies programme was 
recently started under 
which both local farmer and 
foreign partner can get iovr- 
interest credits and ask the 
Government for help in pay¬ 
ing huge chunks of costly 
planning and construction 
work. 

For example, the ministry 
is willing to arrange pay¬ 
ment for half of feasibility 
study costs and 60 per cent 
of ail land levelling work, 
with farmers owning land of 
more than 23 hectares get¬ 
ting an 83 per cent subsidy 
in the cose of irrigation 
work. 

Hefty subsidies for seed 
and fertilizers are also in the 
offing and the ministry has 
volunteered to pay all 
freight costs on the 200 , 0 C 0 
dairy cows that are being 
inerted into Iran. Since 
this new loan and subsidies 
programme was launched 
two months ago. 10 newly 
formed agribusiness com¬ 
panies have asked for and 
been given help.

ARPCO’S ROLE IN IRAN’S 
PRIVATE-SECTOR STEEL INDUSTRY 

by 

Mr. Said Hedayat, Chairman of the Board and 
Managing Director, ARPCO. 



Sherkale Saha ml Aam Navard Va Luleh Ahwaz (The Ahwaz Rolling and Pipe Mills Public Co.). (AJCJ) was 
esSbNshed in December 1967 for the purpose of producing certain steel products, especially flat and pipe. 


The Company, whose 
Mills came into operation in 
October 1971. is one of the 
private-sector initiators of 
steel production in Iran. 

Situated in the south ot 
Ahwaz, which is one of the 
major Industrial centres of 
Iran, the Mills have an 
annual capacity of: 

1 . 150,000 tons of Hot Coil 

Strip, with thicknesses 
from 1 i to 6mm.. and 
widths from 200 to 
520mm. 

2. 40,000 tons of light and 

medium Black and Gal¬ 
vanised Pipes of } to 
6 inches, of BS-13B7 
standard. 

The Company has forged 
ahead with the expansion 
of the Plant, within two 
years of its coming into 
operation, in order to 
double its capacity, and lo 
produce, as well, certain 
other products. By the end 
of 1975, Lhe annual capa¬ 
city of the Mills will be 

1. Hot Coil Strip: 

300,000 tons 

2. Flat products: 

70.000 tons 

3. API 5L and BS-1387 

Black and Galvanised 
Pipes: 100,000 tons. 
Iran's Fifth Development 
Plan will turn Ahwaz into a 
compact centre of indus¬ 
try. especially of steel, pro¬ 
duction. The National 
Iranian StBel Industries 
Company (NISIC) is going 
to erect a large Direct Re¬ 


duction Complex, using 
natural gas, with an annual 
production capacity of 2.5 
to 3 million tons of raw 
steel and semi-finished pio- 
ducts. The goal set for the 
Ahwaz Rolling and Pipe 
Mills is to convert 40% ot 
these raw steel and semi¬ 
finished products into 
finished products. To this 
end. the Company has 
already taken actions con¬ 
cerning Lhe erection, at 
Ahwaz. of a Slabbing' 
Blooming Plate Mill with an 
annual capacity of 300.000 
tons Narrow Slab, 100,000 
tons Bloom of various 
qualities and sizes, and 
about 500.000 tons plate. 

For its projects, the Com¬ 
pany has ever benefited 
from the know-how of 
organisations and special¬ 
ists of the advanced indus¬ 
trial countries. Presently, 
lo carry out the current 
Expansion Project, the fol¬

The Company has so far

Mills; the future investment 
will amount to about double 

of that figure, i.e..

560 million Rials (US S8.20

Pollution in the Caspian makes an anxious man of the gourmet 


Pi ogress and pollution are 
often synonymous. The suf¬ 
ferer In tills case is the stur¬ 
geon—and the gourmet who 
may be deprived of his 
caviar. The Caspian Sea. one 
of the world’s largest inland 
seas, is the home,of the stur¬ 
geon, which provides the Fin¬

London). 

Recent industrial develop¬ 
ment along the Russian and 
Iranian coasts of the Caspian 
Sea have posed dire threats 
to the sturgeon's existence. 
Earlier this year ecologists 
issued a warning about the 
severe- consequences - that 
leakage and pollutants from 
Soviet oil installations might 
have on marine life in the 
Caspian. 

Seven years ago Tran be¬ 
gan a major project for 
sturgeon breeding and in 
1972 nearly seven million 
young sturgeon were put 
back into the Caspian. To 
make sure they survive, and 
to ensure the government

yield by 1978, strenuous 
efforts are being made to

A conservation department 
headed by Eskandar Firouz, 
which is directly responsible 
to the Prime Minister’s 
office, has been instrumental 
in establishing two agree¬ 
ments with Russia to reduce 
the output of untreated 
effluent into the Caspian. 

Unless we do something, 
pollution will take a very 
heavy toll of the sturgeon ”

INVESTMENT IN IRAN 


by Arthur Rccd 
Ajir Correspondent 

Iran Air. the national air- 
fine of Iran. is well 
advanced in its preparations 
[or a major expansion pro¬ 
gramme with new 

airliners—most likejy in¬ 
cluding the supersonic Con¬ 
corde—and new destinations 
on sis already busy route 
mao. 

The most imminent of the 
new destinations is New 

York which is to be served 

by Iran Air as an extension 
of its existing route from 
Teherau to London from , 
November 19. 

Later the airline plans to 
exrend the New York ser¬ 
vice farther into the United 
States to several desti¬ 
nations. particularly Chicago 
and Los Angeles. No def¬ 
inite dates nave yet been 

fixed for these extensions, 
however. 

A second important 
expansion of the Iran Air 
route network is scheduled 
for May 31. when flights 
begin to Tokyo by way of 
Peking and Shanghai. These 
services will connect with 
the airline’s London ser¬ 
vices twice each week so 
that it wiii be possible to 
fly from London to Peking 
making only one stop, or 
through to Tokyo making 
two. Iran Air claims that by 
, way of the Middle Hast, this 
1 vvijl he rite fastest sen ice in 
the international timetable. 

The airline flies 11 rimes 
each week between its main 
base at Teheran to London, 
and also serves other impor¬ 
tant centres in Europe, 
notably Frankfurt (with 
nine services each week), 
Paris (six services), Geneva, 
Zurich, Vienna and Rome. 
Traffic is split fairiy evenly 
between business and 
tourist. but Iran Air hopes 
that tiie developing tourist

industry in Iran will boost 
the latter sector. 

When ihe new routes to 
the United States and Japan 
begin they should tap new 
sources or tourism 101 Iran 
in boiil or those travel-cons¬ 
cious areas. 

Iran Air is not prepared 
to discuss in any detail its 
expected purchase of 
Concorde supersedes, but 
two of the routes on which 
it is most likely they will be 
used are those about in he 
added to the itinerary- As 
China is another prospective 
purchaser of the 1.350 niph 
Anglo-French airliner, it is 
not difficult to sec a linking 
of supersonic services be¬ 
tween the nvo countries, 
with Concorde-, able id 
boom their way over ilu* 
vast kind masses which lie 
between rheir two capitals. 

For the future, it is po». 
sible to viauali/e au exten¬ 
sion of Iran Air’s Concorde 
route westwards along thr 
Mediterranean to Paris m 
London, and from there 
across the north Atlantic to 
New York. The airline has 
rhree Concordes on option 
to purchase, but is likely to 
take two for a start. The 
manufacturers of the air. 
craft, the British Aircraft 


Corporation, and the French 
group Aerospatiale, con¬ 
tinue in hope that Iran may 
siAu a definite order for at 
least two aircraft before the 
cud of this year. 

Firm orders have already 
been placed for two Boeing 
747 jumbo jets to take Iran 
Air into the era of the 
wide-body airliner. Roth arc 
due for delivery in 1975 and 
may bo used later on the 
Teheran-New York and Tu- 
herati-Tokvo services. Inii- 
i;dly. these routes v.-iH be 
operated by Boeing 707.s. of 
which the airline has four 
in its fleet. More 707s and 
747s are in be purchased, 
although mi dates m 
numbers have yet been 
decided. 

The remainder of Iran 
Air's current fleet consists 
of four Boeing 727- IPOs, 
three 727-200s ilhe bigger 
version of this three-jet air¬ 
liner i and four Boeing 7.17s. 

Each uf these types is 
used tu operate the exten¬ 
sive network of services in¬ 
side Iran which link both 
small airfields in remote 
corners of the country with 
the four major airports at 
Teheran, Shiraz, Abadan 
aud Bandar Abbas. 

In addition to the inter¬ 


national services already 
mentioned. Iran Air serves

At Haft Tappeh in the Iranian province of Khuiestan 
stands a £30 million pnlpand paper mill. At present it 
produces 30,000 tonnes of paper representing 45% ot Iran's 

entire production. And employs 885 people. 

Bv 1975 two further phases will be completed and the 
mill will be producing 110,000 tonnes, 70% of all the country's 
paper and board output. With a work force of 1,300 Iranians. 

It b the direct result of Anglo-lranian co-operation. 

Reed Engineering Services (Overseas) Limited, a Reed 
Group Limited company, advised and guided Pars Paper 
Company on all aspects. From the initial feasibility study 
through to construction of the mill itself, its management and 

now its expansion. , 

Our feasibility study showed how to utilise bagasse 
waste from a nearby sugar plant for the production of pulp for 
paper and board. A new industry emerged and sugar cane 
growing received a stimulus. 

And Reed has recently completed a feasibility study 
for yet another major project in Iran. . 

Onlv a company such as Reed Group Limited, with an 
annual turnover of £230 million and a diverse kn owledge of 
paper and packaging could rum’waste into wealth. 


Only a company which produces 750,000tonnes of 
paper and board a vear, 30 million corrugated cases and 
5 million multiwall paper sacks every week, 15 million cartons 

every day, as well as stationery by the ton and plastics 

packaging, could undertake feasibility studies in thesefeLas 
i n any part of the world. Reed Group Limited has theadded. 
backing of its parent company Reed InternationalLiimted. 

■ But of more importance for us, is the fact tbatthernill

Only then, does a desert become a settingfarsudi A

Large areas of Tran are 
empty of people. Neverthe¬ 
less, anticipating the conse¬ 
quences <rf unchecked 
growth of population and 
the adverse effects that it 
can have on the general 
economic development, the 
Government has set out to 
reduce the raye of increase 
in the population from 3.1 
per cent to 2.6 per cent by 
1978. 

• To achieve this, the 
average annual growth rate 
has been fixed at 2.9 per 
cent, which means that the 
population should increase 
from 31,200,000 in 1972 to 
about 36 million by 1977. It 
is expected chat' no major 
change will take place in 
the age structure of the 
population over the period 
of the fifth plan, and that 
45 per cent of the popula¬ 
tion will remain, under 15; 
the figure in the industria¬ 
lized countries is about a 
third. 

The .. other major factor 
the fifth development plan 
has taken into account is 
that the industrial develop¬ 
ment of the past decade has 
meant that an increasing 
number of people move 
from rural areas to urban, 
industrialized centres in 
search of better jobs and 
higher wages. This has put 


a burden on the towns that 
not all of them are 

equipped to handle. 

The past decade has seen 
also great. improvement. in 
standards of health and 

hygiene all over the 

country, another factor con¬ 
tributing significantly to die 
growth of the urban popula¬ 
tion. 

Because of these factors 
the gap between the growth 
of the urban and-rural pop¬ 
ulation '. has . not been 
reduced. -The figures are 

about 5 per cent in the 
towns ana only, about 1.2 
; per. cent for the rural pop¬ 
ulation. An increase of. the 
urban population from 
13,200,000 in 1972 to about 
17 million by 1977 is fore¬ 
cast,’ representing 42.5 per 
cent for the -population as a 
whole.' The economically 
active sector of the papula? 
tion is expected to decline 
from 29.5 per - cent in 1972 
to 29.4..j>er cent in; 1977, 
although in numbers it will 

show a. rise ' of .from 

9,200,000 to 10,600,000. 

The fifth plan, which 
began in 1972, set out to 
achieve a number of basic 
objectives. It is hoped to 
create the maximum 
number of productive jobs, 
while at the same time 
efforts will be made to con¬ 
vert slowly non-productive 


and under-produedvo jobs 
into productive ones. 

In agriculture, which has 
the largest number of 
employed persons, about 40 
per cent of the work force,- 
measures will be ; gradually 
introduced to reduce the 
number, of unproductive 
jobs by about 300,000 re¬ 
placing them by more pro¬ 
ductive work. It is planned 
also to create * a large 
number of jobs in industry 
and mining amounting to 
more than 760,000 new .jobs 
in these sectors. 


190,000. educational Workers,' 
and, almost 70,000. techni¬ 
cians of various kinds. 
These demands are expected 
to be fully met by ’ the 
Iranian grs&ates from r rech-

who - 'return home -'after

Big untapped tourist potential 


by John Ardagh 

The Iranian Govern mem 
has begun to take the deve- ®WiK 
lopment of tourism very se- 
riously, and is now looking 
for foreign participation in 
building up the necessary 
amenities. The Government „*)»•*' 
knows that Iran has a large 
untapped tourist potential; 
told it wants not only to be ••*.**•• 
able to cater for more 
foreign visitors, but also to 
provide better leisure and 
holiday facilities for Iran¬ 
ians themselves, with their 
growing affluence. 

For the western tourist, - V 
Iran has an obvious cultural 
and exotic appeal, with its 
mosques and palaces, 
bazaars and nomadic tribes. 

But it also offers plenty of 
scope for skiing, bathing, 
mountaineering, game-hunt¬ 
ing, as well as the pleasures 
of gambling, dining out and 
night-clubs, all as likely to 
appeal to prosperous Iran¬ 
ians as to foreigners. For 
all this, new Infrastructure 
is needed. 

Until recently, foreign 
travellers in Iran were 
mostly individual adven¬ 
turers, while Iranians did 
little tourist holiday-making 
within their own frontiers. 

Today this is changing. 

Foreign package tours are 
spreading, and so- is the 
habit among middle-class 
Teheranis of weekends on 
the ski-slopes or the Caspian 
coast. The annual total of 
foreign visitors, only 87.000 
in 1963, was more than ‘ 

400,000 last year, and is 
expected to reach a million 
by 1978. 

The Iran National Tourist InetC 
Organization (INTO) was 
set- up only in 1963, and 
early this year was merged sizable 
with the Ministry of Inform- Caspian,

The tourism organization lians, eagi 
has sponsored the building gambling 
of several big hotels in the verted si 
past few years, especially in Ke ?* ~' na 
Teheran, mainly for busi- , 

ness clientele. But more “ 

hotels are needed, especially 10 J' 

in other centres and for Commaj 
tourists. The number of from D 

hotel beds in Iran has risen minority 
since 1966 from 15,700 to vides the 
26^97 last year and will weLI as i

and pleasure complexes as f 
well as for hotels and £rom aDro 

motels. The hope is that 
this will be matched by a „ . , 

similar amount from the r 3Sl 66 
private sector. COast 

Iranians know that as a

sizable resort on ' the 
Caspian. Here 1 was intri¬ 
gued to come across a 
team of nearly 40 young 
British men and girls, aided 
by a few French and Ita¬ 
lians, eagerly running a new 
gambling casino in a con¬ 
verted summer palace of 
Reza Shah, all statues and 
swirling balustrades that 
would look perfectly in 
place in Juan-Ies-Pins. 

Commander W. Meaden, 
from Dorking, has a 
minority interest and pro¬ 
vides the management as 
well as the croupiers and 
restaurant staff. The casino 
offers baccarat, blackjack 
and so on, _ and caters 
mainly for rich Iranians 
(Teheran is only 30 minutes 
flight away), but would also 
like to attract more visitors 
from abroad. 


Fast developing 
coast 

The large fitted carpet is 
from.Britain, the equivalent 
you could say of shipping 
Iranian coals to Newcastle. 
There is a swimming pool, 
and ski-boats on the beach, 
while the restaurant charges 
prices that suitably impress 
the new-rich clientele. The 
operation began in May last 
year, and is one of only two 
casinos in the whole 
country, although several 
more are planned. 

The whole Caspian coast 
is now being fast deve¬ 
loped. An £8m tourist com¬ 
plex west of Chalus is due 
to open next year, complete 
with yachting marina, air¬ 
port, casino and sports 
centre. The foreign partner 
is Hyatt (America). 

Elsewhere, a network of 
low-priced camping sites is 
being laid ont, for popular 
tourism. This Caspian coast 
is grey, humid and shabby 
by .most western standards: 
it would not excite many 
Europeans, but may well 
have a big future with Iran¬ 
ians, who adore to escape 
from their parched hinter¬ 
land to any kind of coast. 

Between the Caspian and 
Teheran are lovely moun¬ 
tains and cool upland val¬ 
leys, Swiss in their beauty. 
These might have far more 
appeal for western tourists 
than the coast itself, but 
need to be equipped with 
the right kind of hotels. 
Already, smart ski resorts 
are being developed in 
these mountains, not far 
from Teheran. Most of the 
ski equipment I saw was 
French, while the building 
work is often Finnish, 

In other parts of Iran—in 
Isfahan, Shiraz, where an 
arts festival takes _ place 
eve >7 summer, Tabriz and 
smaller centres, there is big 
scope for new hotels, espe¬ 
cially in the medium range 


suitable for package tours. 
In Isfahan, it is often hard 
for a chance visitor *to find 
a bed. Tourism planners are 
also' looking for foreign 
help in developing winter 
seaside resorts on the Per¬ 
sian Gulf, at present unex 
ploited. 

Whereas the Caspian has 
only a summer season, the 
Gulf has a winter climate 
similar to the Caribbean’s. 
The Gulf might have a big 
future, so long as pollution 
can be checked in an area 
not exactly short of oiL 

Iran’s road network is 
developing fast, and the aim 
is to equip this with Euro¬ 
pe an-style motels and Per¬ 
sian -tea-houses. The Trans- 
Asian Highway runs across 
the country from the Tur¬ 
kish to the Afghanistan 
frontiers. 

The package tour business 
is obviously due to grow 
hugely as more and more 
tourists seek out exotic des¬ 
tinations a little farther 
afield than the Mediter¬ 
ranean. Swan Hellenic suc¬ 
cessfully operate archaeolo¬ 
gical and cultural tours of 
Iran, accompanied by lec¬ 
turers, while some other 
British firms include Iran 
on general Middle East or 
Asian itineraries. 

Some nations are even 
more active: a German firm 
cuts hotel costs by taking 
its package tourists in enor¬ 
mous ' buses with trailers 
that sleep about 30 in three 
narrow tiers. 

Any tour operator wish¬ 
ing to make use of Air 
Iran's scheduled domestic 
flights will find them effi¬ 
cient and comfortable. I 
made several Boeing jet 
journeys between Teheran 
and Mashhad, Isfahan and 
Shiraz, and had no com¬ 
plaint with the food and 
refreshments served, the 
courteous hostesses or the 
smoothness and punctuality 
of flights. 

As for international 
charters, Iran Air’s policy 
was formerly restrictive, but 
has now been relaxed. 
Charters can be arranged 
with agencies, provided 
these are for tourists only 
and guarantee three months’ 
advance booking. 

Efforts bave been made 
to negotiate a package 
deal—in both senses—with 
a British airline operator 
who would participate in 
building and running hotels 
as well as in operating 
flights and tours. As in 
other branches of industry, 
any British firm interested 
will have to face the fact 
that Iranians are not always 
easy to deal with. 

Initial eagerness and 
promises are often followed 
by bewildering delays and 
restrictions. You need 
patience and tact, but the 
final rewards in this stable 
and booming country are 
likely to be great. 


Rank Xerox 
is helping to make 
Iran's future work. 


I ran is an ancient country with a 
great new future. 

And since November 1970 Rank 
Xerox has been there, helping make 
that future work Making its own 
special contribution to the community 
and the economy. 

Since it began operations Rank 
Xerox has fully trained 120 Iranian 
personnel in specialised fields. Indeed, 
of its staff of 150 only three are 
expatriate. 

And as Iranian business continues 
to expand, so Rank Xerox will be there 
with the equipment and the knowledge 
to increase business communications 
and efficiency 

It is a fact; Rank Xerox and Iran are 
growing together.

MAJOR STEP TOWARDS 
COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE 

OF THE 

CAR INDUSTRY IN IRAN 


Report by Mr. Mahmoud Khayami, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Iran National Industrial 
Manufacturing Company, on the occasion of the Inauguration of the Company Foundry and 
Engine Production Plant by H.I.M. the Shahanshah Arya Mehr, on Saturday 19fh October, 1974 







1 ;■ 
..r.\ 


As a result of the White Revolution, Iran National 
was established In October, 1362, for the purpose 
of manufacturing buses and light commercial 
vehicles. On 19th March, 1964, its plant was 
inaugurated by His Imperial MajesQr Shahanshah 
Arya Mehr. 

A licence for the expansion of the plant was obtained 
in March, 1966. Since then production has increased 
to the extent that in 1973 Iran National produced 
91% of all buses registered In Iran. During the same 
year Iran National exported about 50% of its pro¬ 
duction, resulting in substantial foreign exchange 
earnings. 

Iran National at present has the capacity to produce 
10 buses per day, which makes this Company the 
second largest producer of Mercedes buses in the 
world. 

The countries to which Iran National has exported 
buses and minibuses are as fallows : 

Europe 
Poland 

Asia 

Abu Dhabi 
Afghanistan 
Bahrein 
Dubai 
Iraq 
Qatar 

Africa 
Egypt 


Romania 

Kuwait 
Pakistan 
Saudi Arabia 
Syria 
Yemen

Passenger Car Manufacturing: 

In September. 1964, Iran National was granted a 
licence to manufacture four cylinder passenger cars. 
The production facilities for passenger cars (Paykan) 
were inaugurated by His Imperial Majesty Shahan¬ 
shah Arya Mehr on 13th May, 1965. 

On this memorable occasion specific orders to in¬ 
crease local content and capacity were given by His 
Imperial Majesty. These instructions have since been 
the guidelines of Company Management.

Plans for -joint ventures with-’other "well known' in¬ 
ternational companies for. .the manufacture of other 
components are under consideration- ' ' 

Within a maximum of two years, these companies, 
the majority shares' of which will be owned by 
IMDBI, other Iranian banks and the public, will 
start production in various locations of Iran sucb 
as Masha d, Tabriz, Zanjan, Saved, Esfahan, etc. 

The participating companies, which are the largest 
producers of automotive, parts in Germany, Eng¬ 
land and the U.S.A., have afl agreed to export from 
Iran. This demonstrates that local-production will 
reach international standards. There Is no. donbt 
that these ventures will necessitate local technical 
research which will result lit technological Indepen¬ 
dence. ■ • 


Foundry and Engine Plant ’ 

Upon His Imperial Majesty Shahanshah Arya Mehris 
instructions and with the Government's support, the 
Foundry and Machine Shops inaugurated last week 
are.for the 'purpose of increasing the local content 
of Paykan engines. The two Junker electrical fur¬ 
naces have a-capacity to . melt 8 tons an hour, suffi¬ 
cient for pouring gray iron castings for 300,000 units 
of engines. The capacity will increase, by 1980 
to supply parts for 500,000 units of engines. 

The Engine plant will have the capacity to produce 
153,000 engines in 1975 and 360.000 -in 1976. " The 
expansion planned for th i s plant will .enable it to 
manufacture 500,000 units of various types of four 
cylinder engines within a few year*. 

Subsequent to full operation of the' Foundry and 
Machine Shop, all Paykan engines will be equipped 
with an increasing number of parts made in Iran, 
and this country will be well on the way to becoming 
self-sufficient in this respect. . 

The Paint Shop as well as. the Seat Making and 
Trim Shops are designed for producing 300,000 units. 


Employee Relationship and Services 

Iran National with about.-sCr. thoasand workers Is 
one of the largest private, enterprises in Iran. By 
1980. future programmes' wtH increase manpower 
requirements for Iran National alone to 2B.523 
people. The supporting supplier industry as a whole 
will employ about 100,000 people. 

Iran National--has always - tried-to promote the 
utmost use of its manpower by creating a proper 
.wage.and. salary .-system--and .-better- social- benefits 
for its employees. Since it la the major employer

In pursuit of the above guidelines the initial annual 
production capacity of 3,000 units has been increased 
to 75,000 units with local content now exceeding 
60%. 

With the support of the Government's economic and 
protective policies, Iran National will reach the ulti¬ 
mate goal of producing Paykans with 100% local con¬ 
tent by I960. In that year production should surpass 
500,000 units per annum. 


Light Commercial Vehicle 
Manufacturing: 

In 196S, with the introduction of Mercedes Benz 
new light commercial vehicle to the European mar¬ 
ket, Iran National management derided to include 
tills range of vehicle in its production for the home 
and export markets. A year later in 1969 facilities 
were inaugurated by Her Imperial Majesty the Shah- 
hanou and the Crown Prince. 

Iran National has at the present time the capacity 
to produce 30 light commercial vehicles per day 
making Iran self-sufficient in light commercial 
vehicles. This also resulted In Iran National becom¬ 
ing second largest producer of tills range of Mer¬ 
cedes-Benz vehicles in the world. 

Iran National has helped in the development of a 
wide range of auxiliary industries which will employ 
as mam- as one hundred and twenty thousand engi¬ 
neers, technicians, skilled workers and office staff 
by the end of the Company's expansion programme.

FUTURE PLANS 

Iran National has signed an agreement with Chrysler 
U.S. whereby tbe responsibility for the supply to 
Iran National of automotive parts from Chrysler 
U.S., Chrysler France and Chrysler U.K. rests with 
that Company. 

Within the framework of this agreement Iran 
National with the cooperation of Chrysler has re¬ 
viewed and revised its plans for the manufacture 
of the following passenger cars : 


Production Models' 

Various models of Paykan with improvements in 
appearance and safety devices will continue to 
be produced. 

A smaller car especially designed for Iran and 
with an Iranian name will also be produced. 

A station wagon to serve larger families and 
transport needs will be produced. 

In order to satisfy tbe luxury segment of the 
medium size car market, a larger car with a 
completely new design will be launched into the 
market. 

This car will have front wheel drive and other
